No

[root at box10 /]# umount  /mnt/test
umount: /mnt/test: not mounted

[root at box10 /]# mount -o rw /dev/sdh  /mnt/test
mount: /dev/loop0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
        missing codepage or helper program, or other error

        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
        dmesg | tail or so.
