When you attempt to mount a file system and you do not specify the -standindevice parameter, the system attempts to use an unused standin block device. It creates a temporary block-device-specific file for the standin block device and adds the name of that temporary file to the Linux mount table. It creates the file in the directory defined by the TMPDIR environment variable, or /tmp if TMPDIR is not defined.
Attempt to mount the file system again. This time, use the -standindevice parameter to specify the device-specific file name of the standin block device for the global file system image.
