How To Force a USB mount (when not auto-mounting) in Linux Mint

didnt work for me. my flash would bing, but no icon, etc.

fdisk -l,

wasnt getting the last lines "device boot", /dev/sdb1, just the disk /dev/sdb (sde in my case) part.

sudo mount /dev/sde /media/usb gave error. forget what.

finally... mkfs.vfat /dev/sde woke it up.

now how to figure out why i suddenly have multiple /dev/loop from nowhere, and exactly where these two volumes, 66mb and 77mb just appeared from.

ffs.

im going to give up on cnc machining and go back to twiddling handles. stuff actually gets done.

five days trying to even get to trial linuxcnc? am i the only one that seems to get this runaraound everytime? effing computers.

Thank you! And that worked! With 55,000 plus views, you should have at least 50,000 LIKES!.....Really!
So...suggestion.... put the commands in the description....before "show more." And I'll give ya 10,000 thumbs up... if I could! LOL!

dont work

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH

so I got an error like this [mount: /media/usb: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.] does anyone know how to solve it ?=/

i installed linuxcnc debian 2.7.14 and I could not detect my external harddrive i followed your instructions with no resualts. pls help

thanks!

Thanks, brother!! You helped me a lot.

Muito obrigado!! Levei um susto quando descobri que algo tão simples no windows precisa de algumas linhas de comando para ser feito no linux. Nem é tão difícil, mas com certeza não é prático.

THAT INTRO LITERALLY SCARED THE SHIT OUTTA ME, WHY WOULD YOU EVER PUT SUCH A SOUND AS AN INTRO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😌😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

What password should i throw in??

mount: /media/usb: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

my USB does not even show up when I issue the command fdisk -l. I am using cent OS 7 virtual box hosted on windows 10. any hint?

does it work for usb 3 external harddisk?

I see a error like this
Unknown file system type exfat

what's the apple version? I get; fdisk - saying illegal option

Thx

Thank you! Very clear instructions.

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

This what I got in the terminal when I tried to mount my usb stick which I mistakenly unmounted in GParted. Doh!

Does not show up in fdisk.

when I write fdisk: cannot open l-: no such or directory writes that help what to do

Ha ha! Success. I was lost, and you got me there (ie: I watched this video and your suggestion worked. I was able to mount my USB stick). A sincere thanks.

How to write or make folder on that one oft the windows harddisk partition?

it works!

mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist

Good tutorial, it did solve my problem

How do I do this on the built in Linux beta version. I’m trying to mount a usb drive to use on steam but “sudo fdisk -l” doesn’t do anything for me:/

It’s doesn’t work for me it did not show up still

really good. I'd like one on usb mic

The drives show up on the desktop but they say they can't be mounted. I typed in your sudo command and they cannot be found.

Thank you so much

Simple and helpful.. Thumbs up

I’m experiencing the same issues. However my usb drive is picked up if I wait 15 minutes. Although my usb drive is not listed in de disks program while it is visible in the prompt menu. This is a strange thing. I hope this will get solved very soon, because I want to give Linux mint to my girlfriend.

It worked. Thank you.
My specs:
4790k at 4.6ghz
Amd 8GB rx 580 sapphire nitro+
asrock z97 matx
Distro = LInux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 4.2.3 with Kernel 5.2.6-050206-generic for the record.


cheers.

Documents are not able to add

Watched your video but the command says "fdisc: command not found mint 19.1"

thx, helped me!

It shows an error like 'partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary'
What to do for this????please tell me

could you or anyone help me please.
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 0 3233791 3233792 1.6G 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
jd@Mini-CQ10-100 ~ $ sudo mkdir /media/usb
jd@Mini-CQ10-100 ~ $ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
mount: /dev/sdb1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
is the usb i used to install the os now i can't use it for nothing else!

helped ... THANKS DAWGGG

Works perfectly!

simple and helpful. Thanks

You can do the same thing in a few clicks via GUI. Open "Disks" from menu (gnome-disk-utility). It will already list the disks as per fdisk -l. Choose the correct disk on the left, on the right will be shown its partitions. For a drive that didn't auto-mount, simply click the play button (triangle) and it will mount.

Thank you, worked.

But my system gives me error after 3 rd step " mount:special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist"

Awesome thanks, I had to root for it to work: sudo su (enter) then (Password)

Thank you!

mkdir /media
mount /mount/sdb1 /media/usb
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Where do I fit in the "filesystem type"?

ugh why does everything have to be so complicated on linux trying to make a windows iso bootdrive and it's glitch after glitch after fucking glitch.
