Mounting the USB Drive

Perform the following procedure to mount the USB drive:

  1. Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the FMP and run the following command:

    dmesg | tail

    A message is displayed similar to the following:

    sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled sdb: sdb1
    sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

    where, sbd is the drive designation of the USB drive.

  2. Verify that the USB drive is displayed in the list of drives using the following command:

    ls /dev/sd*

    The USB drive is displayed as /dev/sdb and the partitions on the USB drive are displayed as /dev/sdbn

    where, n is the partition number. Typically there will be one partition numbered as 1.
