I was scouring the ether for general information related to Linux files systems generally, and more specifically what happens if I specify a wrong root-sub directory when performing commands. To be exact, I made a mistake of having double slash at the beginning of my path.

//mnt/.../... instead of /mnt/.../...

I have noticed that I can cd into this location, but this seems to mirror the correct directory location.

  1. Have I unintentionally created a new directory?
  2. Would I need to perform further actions rto resolve?

There is a similar question which is answered, but refers more to a typo at the end of the path description, which is similar, but different, as the type is at the end of the path (changing the file name).

    That does indeed. Thanks. Although the information is pretty indepth, and I feel as if I'm just peering into another rabbit-hole, I definetly would accept the answer. If I can accept it with my account's lack of privileges, I will! Cheers again. – XJMZX Aug 10 '21 at 04:19
