Operation Manual: USB flash drive attached to Linux

As time passes by, technology is developing rapidly. With the increasingly mature and stable linux system and its unique advantages of open source code, linux has been widely used in the world. The problem also arises. Today we will mainly discuss the problem of mounting a USB flash drive on a Linux system.

Mount a USB flash drive
Like a USB-based mobile hard drive, USB flash drives are also treated as SCSI devices for linux systems. The usage is exactly the same as that of a mobile hard disk. Before inserting a USB flash drive, use fdisk-l or more/proc/partitions to view the hard disk and hard disk partition of the system.

 
 

  
  
[root at pldyrouter root]# fdisk -l  
  
  
Disk /dev/sda: 73 dot 4 GB, 73407820800 bytes

/dev/sda5 7905 8924 8193118+ 82 Linux swap 
 
 

After the USB flash drive is inserted, use fdisk-l or more/proc/partitions to view the hard disk and hard disk partition of the system.

The system has a SCSI hard disk/dev/sdd and a disk partition/dev/sdd1./dev/sdd1 is the USB flash drive to be attached.
# Mkdir-p/mnt/usb

Note: create a directory for mount point)
# Mount-t vfat/dev/sdd1/mnt/usb

Note: You can now access the usb flash drive through/mnt/usb. If the Chinese character file name is garbled or not displayed, use the following command.
# Mount-t vfat-o iocharset = cp936/dev/sdd1/mnt/usb
