1] Finding the partition name of External device
a) In terminal, enter-
fdisk -l
It will list the all the partition no matter mounted or unmounted
In my case, by output there is only one partition available named as /dev/sda
b) Now plug-in the External usb storage device.
c) In terminal enter-
fdisk -l
It will again list all the partition
In my case, it is listing one more partition named as /dev/sdb1
\dev\sdb1 is the device name we are going to use in mounting
2] Mounting the partition
a) create a mount point (directory) where we can access the files of that external storage device
In terminal, enter-
mkdir /mnt/sdb1
b) Mount
In terminal, enter-
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
Now we can access the files and directory from /mnt/sdb1
3] unmounting that partition
In terminal, enter-
umount /mnt/sdb1
a) In terminal, enter-
fdisk -l
It will list the all the partition no matter mounted or unmounted
In my case, by output there is only one partition available named as /dev/sda
b) Now plug-in the External usb storage device.
c) In terminal enter-
fdisk -l
It will again list all the partition
In my case, it is listing one more partition named as /dev/sdb1
