Hi folks, Novice Linux user here. I am a chem eng using Linux OS to run Fortran programs for molecular simulations. I have a fairly old distro of Red Hat. trying to find command for use of flash drive. To mount floppy I use: mount /mnt/floppy I do not know what /dev my flash drive would be. Any Help? As suggested, I tried 'fdisk -l' to ascertain /dev ------NO GOOD!!
If You'd know the path to the flash drive You could mount it ex. like this: Code: mount -t filesystem_type path_to_drive mount_point example: Code: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flash_drive /mnt/flash_drive has to exist. If it doesn't You can: Code: mkdir /mnt/flash_drive You can also make the system determine the fs type automatically: Code: mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flash_drive After You finish enter: Code: umount /mnt/flash_drive More info: Code: man mount
