Just guessing: 1. maybe /mnt/home...
2a. move to that directory using cd; then pwd; copy the result (it's /mnt... with me)
2b. move to that directory using your file manager, then call the console there, 
(with me) it opens with that directory as the current one, then pwd ... as above. 

HTH -- Uwe.
