Mount a USB flash drive and a CD in RedHat Linux

USB flash disk mounting

1. Insert a USB flash drive.

2. Use fdisk-L to view disk Information

[Root @ localhost USB] # fdisk-l

Disk/dev/SDA: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 Cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065*512 = 8225280 bytes

Device boot start end blocks ID system
/Dev/sda1*1 13 104391 83 Linux
/Dev/sda2 14 1012 8024467 + 83 Linux
/Dev/sda3 1013 1044 257040 82 Linux swap

Disk/dev/SDB
: 511 MB, 511558144 bytes
16 Heads, 61 sectors/track, 1023 Cylinders
Units = cylinders of 976*512 = 499712 bytes

 

The red figure above shows the USB flash drive.

 

3. Create a USB directory under the MNT directory (this can be customized)

[Root @ localhost MNT] # mkdir USB

4. mount a USB flash drive

[Root @ localhost MNT] # Mount/dev/sdb/mnt/USB/

 

5. Enter/mnt/USB to view the content of the USB flash disk.

6. unmount the USB flash drive

[Root @ localhost USB] # umount-L/dev/SDB

 

Attach a cd

Similar to a USB flash drive.

1. Insert the disc.

 

2. Attach a cd

[Root @ localhost MNT] # Mount/dev/CDROM/mnt/CDROM/

 

3. Uninstall the CD

[Root @ localhost USB] # umount-L/dev/CDROM

 

4. pop up the CD

[Root @ localhost USB] # eject

 

The above test passed in VMware workstation6.5 + RedHat Linux 9 (2.4 kernel.
