Many thanks. With that, a quick: $ pmount /dev/sdb1 somestick had the usb stick mounted as /media/somestick . So long as mounting under /media is acceptable, it's a very convenient way to mount a usb stick when that automount thingy goes off to the pub for a pint. (Happens about once a week here.) I mostly use the other half, pumount, so I can pull the stick out without risk of losing unwritten data. If the usb stick has been labelled, that is used for the mountpoint. If none is provided, the above mounts as /media/sdb1. On 19.06.18 14:41, Martin Steigerwald wrote: > > I´d use lsblk or lsblk -f. Martin, I think I will too. That is one nifty little bit of kit, not just to be added to my survival notes accumulated over the decades, but to be pushed into the wetware despite increasing backpressure after 2^6 trips around our star. A day is not wasted when we have learnt something useful. (Even if all my digging in the garden still hasn't found the very slow water leak which quadrupled the last quarter's water bill.)
