To mount a drive from the command line in Ubuntu, you can use the mount
command. The basic syntax is:
mount [OPTIONS] DEVICE MOUNTPOINT
Where DEVICE
is the name of the device you want to mount, and MOUNTPOINT
is the location where you want to mount the device.
For example, to mount a device located at /dev/sdb1
to the /mnt
directory, you would run the following command:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
Note that you need to run this command as the root
user or with sudo
in order to have the necessary permissions to mount a device.
If the file system on the device is not recognized by Ubuntu, you may need to specify the file system type using the -t
option. For example, to mount a device formatted with the ext4
file system:
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
You can also use the df
command to see a list of mounted file systems and their corresponding mount points.
