linux mount disk

linux mount disk

first show the disks

sudo fdisk -l

show like this

you can see a disk

Disk /dev/sdb: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors

At this time, you can not mount this disk to your system.
You need to format the disk.

sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

output

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Before you mount the disk, you need to format the disk, we use type ext4

sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1

output

create mount point

cd /mnt
sudo mkdir tempmount

mount a disk

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 tempmount

Note: mount point must be a folder.

use df to see the disk

df -h
