Mounting hard disk
By David Jones •
I have made a bootable usb with rufus. Inside the usb it has the ubuntu20.04 installation. When i click try ubuntu everything is ok.
How can i mount the hard drive, to copy the files in another usb disk?
What can i do when
mount: /tmp: /dev/sda already mounted or mount point busy.1 Answer
Type lsblk in terminal. You can see something like that:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 55M 1 loop /snap/core18/1705
loop1 7:1 0 69M 1 loop /snap/lxd/14804
loop2 7:2 0 27.1M 1 loop /snap/snapd/7264
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi
└─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part /
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part /media/usbdiskNext, for mount, you should type:
sudo mkdir /media/usbstick
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/usbstickIf filesystem is NTFS (not vfat as in my case) then try
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/usbstickMore in general
