mount usb drive
 

how is a Usb drive mounted , version redhat 9.0

USB hard-drives are usually seen as /dev/sda1 ...

As root, "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb", or something similar. Once that works, you can add a line to your /etc/fstab to allow normal users to mount/umount.

Is it the only one you have plugged in? Try this command as root:
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt
That'll mount the drive on /mnt.

thanks for your help, we have a success.


Kind regards
