first you create a directory you want to mount the drive to, let's say /mnt/usb:
an USB device usually has the "sd" prefix, like sda or sdb, but if you don't know exactly the name simply list the drives (actually it displays the space usage) with:
the -h switch is to display the size in a better readable ("human readable") format, like 10M or 10G....here's an example output:
now simply look for the device that has the size of the USB stick and mount it into the folder you have created earlier (I use sdb1 in this example):
then you can access it in the /mnt/usb directory...
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/usb
Code: Select all
df -h
Code: Select all
/dev/sdb1 282G 46G 222G 17%
tmpfs 951M 0 951M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 36K 10M 1% /dev
tmpfs 951M 0 951M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 93M 8.8M 79M 11% /boot
Code: Select all
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
