Se você quiser encontrar facilmente o nome do dispositivo atribuído a ele:
- Desconecte sua unidade externa
- Abra o terminal e execute
tail -f /var/log/messages
- conecte sua unidade e assista, você terá uma saída assim:
Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=05dc, idProduct=a764 Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: Product: USB Flash Drive Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: Manufacturer: Lexar Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: SerialNumber: CCMAR10MYORIAFSF1141 Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: usb 1-3.1.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 29 13:24:10 mercury kernel: scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Lexar USB Flash Drive 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 7831552 512-byte hardware sectors: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 7831552 512-byte hardware sectors: (4.00 GB/3.73 GiB) Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Nov 29 13:24:16 mercury kernel: sdb: sdb1
é claro que o dispositivo foi atribuído a sdb. Agora podemos montar sua primeira partição:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt
Se isso falhar, sua unidade provavelmente estará formatada com NTFS:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt
