I have been using Linux for a while but I am more used to Debian based distributions. With distributions like Ubuntu, I have been able to get my flash drives to work instantly. However, I have no idea how to mount one in OpenSuse. I do not have much experience in configuring stuff like this because distros usually do this for me.
Thanks for the help
First, you need to know how your drive is labeled by the OS. Use this to see all your drives…
fdisk -l
You should see all your drives and be able to tell which one is the usb drive from that command.
You’ll need a mount point.
mkdir -p /media/usb/
That will create a directory to mount your usb drive in. Now just mount your drive.
mount /dev/sdX/ /media/usb/
Now if you do the command
df -h
you should see that your drive is mounted in /media/usb
