To make a statement that you want a volume to be mounted at that place, that is at file name lookup by some process the filesystem manager (Venus) does at that point a _volume_ lookup and uses volume contents as a contents of that object in the file system. With other words - like traditional mounts, with a difference that mountpoints are located in the filesystem itself, not centrally in a table in the actual OS kernel.
