# How to mount devices 1. Find the device name - `lsblk` - `sudo blkid` - `sudo fdisk -l` 2. Create mount point `sudo mkdir /mnt/usb` `chown -R user:group /mnt/usb` 3. Mount the device `sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb` > where sda1 is the name of the device 4. Unmount the device `sudo umount /mnt/usb` # Mounting an exfat drive > exfat drives are windows and linux compatible but don't store permissions metadata the way ext4 does `sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb` # Formatting a drive sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1
