How To Mount A Drive In Linux
Initially you wanna check the hard drives on your system
fdisk -l
so now you now whats being seen by the system
Command Line
mount /dev/partitionId /some/mounting/point
for example
mount /dev/sdb /backup
The mounting point path must already be created with proper permissions. So a more likely flow of commands would be below:
Command Line
mkdir /some/mounting/point
chmod 777 /some/mounting/point
mount /dev/partitionId /some/mounting/point
for example:
mkdir /backup
chmod 777 /backup
mount /dev/sdb /backup
Now you just need to add the addon hard drive into fstab to be booted on startup as well
nano /etc/fstab
How To Unmount A Drive In Linux
Command Lineumount /dev/partitionId
This command is very easy to type wrong. It is NOT unmount. Take another closer look if thats what you saw at first. It is umount -- no n here!
