+#### Mounting fails with "error mounting: could not resolve name"
+
+Make sure your node's IPNS address has a directory published:
+```
+$ mkdir hello/; echo 'hello' > hello/hello.txt; ipfs add -rQ ./hello/
+QmU5PLEGqjetW4RAmXgHpEFL7nVCL3vFnEyrCKUfRk4MSq
+
+$ ipfs name publish QmU5PLEGqjetW4RAmXgHpEFL7nVCL3vFnEyrCKUfRk4MSq
+```
+
 If you manage to mount on other systems (or followed an alternative path to one
 above), please contribute to these docs :D
