Hello,
I have a new Beowulf AMD64 install and am having trouble mounting USB
storage devices.
The USB keyboard and mouse work ok. lsusb shows the storage device
is present. The usbmount program is apparently no longer available
and I haven't been able to find what took its place. I have another
computer that had Debian Jessie installed then was upgraded to
Beowulf x86. It has usbmount and will automatically mount USB
storage devices.
What do I need to install?
..easy now, first find out a few things.
"fdisk -l " as root will tell you which filesystems you have
whenever you stick something into your box.
"mount -v /dev/a_filesystem_found_with_fdisk_-l_ /mnt" will
either confirm it worked, or be a little bit more verbose
about why it failed.
Pile on more "-v" if you want more, or chk "info mount".
.."man -k mount " will tell you what mount like things you have
installed, "apt-cache search mount " will search for more of
these mount like things, e.g. "apt-cache show mount " will give
you more details on each search find.
..I'm really a little too old fashion to advice on those new
fancy usb key etc automount things. Anyone?
Hi,
fdisk -l showed the device to be /dev/sdb1.
Using your mount command it was mounted and could be accessed. I guess
this answers my question but I was hoping for some automation like
usbmount where the device is plugged in and it just works. Another
poster suggested autofs which I found to be already installed. I
suspect it is the replacement for usbmount and I just have to study the
autofs article to get it configured.
Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
Fred
