Mount an exfat and FAT32 USB flash drive to CentOS

Mount an exfat and FAT32 USB flash drive to CentOS

This article describes how to mount exfat format U. If you want to mount the file in the FAT32 format, you can directly view section 4th.

Let's talk about the mounting of exfat, which is a little complicated and requires some compilation technology. If you do not want to compile the file, download the attachment and install it.

1. Download the fuse-exfat support software:

Exfat support is supported through the fuse module, its project address is: https://code.google.com/p/exfat/, the current version is: 1.0.1.

Currently, exfat supports all functions and supports reading and writing.

You can download the source code package and compile it using scons and gcc. You can also download the source code RPM in rpmfusion and install it by building the RPM. Here we use the RPM construction method (which is convenient for installation and uninstallation ).

: Http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/updates/6/SRPMS/repoview/index.html

Download: fuse-exfat-1.0.1-1-el6.src.rpm and exfat-utils-1.0.1-1.el6.src.rpm

2. Compile and install:

Check the system before compiling. If scons and gcc are not in the system, install them using yum:

$ Sudo yum install scons gcc

This software is the fuse module, and fuse-devel package is required for compilation:

$ Sudo yum install fuse-devel

After downloading, install the source code RPM:

$ Rpm-ivhfuse-exfat-1.0.1-1-el6.src.rpm exfat-utils-1.0.1-1.el6.src.rpm

The rpmbuild directory appears in the main directory:

$ Cd ~ /Rpmbuild/SPECS

$ Rpmbuild-ba fuse-exfat.spec

$ Rpmbuild-ba exfat-utils.spec

After the build is complete, you can go ~ Find the generated RPM in/rpmbuild/RPMS (based on the system architecture, in the x86_64 or i386 directories, where the package with debuginfo in the name does not need to be installed ):

$ Cd ~ /Rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64

$ Sudo rpm-ivh fuse-exfat-1.0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm exfat-utils-1.0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

This completes the installation.

3. Mount:

Use fdisk-l to view the device name of the USB flash drive:

$ Fdisk-l

Run the following command to mount the exfat USB flash drive:

$ Sudo mount. exfat/dev/sdXn/mnt

X in sdXn represents the name of your USB flash drive device, and n represents the Partition Number, for example,/dev/sdb1.

In addition, for convenience, you can create a symbolic link between the commands installed in/usr/sbin and/sbin:

$ Sudo ln-s/usr/sbin/mount. exfat/sbin/mount. exfat

It is easy to directly use mount for installation:

$ Sudo mount-t exfat/dev/sdXn/mnt

This completes the installation.

4. Mount FAT32:

1: view the storage location

Root @ wgods ~] # Fdisk-l | grep FAT32
/Dev/sdb1*56 640 3580928 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

2: Create a usb directory under the mnt directory (other locations are acceptable)

[Root @ wgods ~] # Cd/mnt/
[Root @ wgods mnt] # mkdir usb

3: mount a USB flash drive
[Root @ wgods mnt] # mount-t vfat/dev/sdb1/mnt/usb
