Tutorial
Tutorial
Follow instructions in Connect External Storage To RHEL
Direct to mnt directory
cd /mnt
Show all currently unmounted devices
lsblk
Example: sdb1
Create an empty directory for mount device
sudo mkdir [Directory]
ls
/mnt is intended for temporary mounts.
Example: sudo mkdir /mnt/my_device
Mount the device
sudo mount /dev/[Device Name] /[Directory]
Example: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/my_device
Verify mount
findmnt | grep [Directory]
Example: findmnt | grep /mnt/my_device
Access the data
ls [Directory]
Example: ls /mnt/my_device
Unmount the device
sudo umount [Directory]
Example: sudo umount /mnt/my_device
Delete the directory
sudo rmdir [Directory]
Example: sudo rmdir /mnt/my_device
Eject the external storage by click eject icon in Files in RHEL
