How to unmount and mount pen drive in Ubuntu 14.04?
Thanks
A. Identify the pendrive with the following commands
sudo parted -ls
sudo lsblk -fm
best in a wide terminal window (to avoid line wrapping)
df -h
to check if it is already mounted
B. Create mount points with mkdir and mount with the mount command
sudo mkdir /mnt/sdn
Make the mount point only the first time; n can be a number 1 or 2 ...
sudo mount /dev/sdxm /mnt/sdn
x is the drive letter, m is the partition number
for example
sudo mkdir /mnt/sd1
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sd1
C. Unmount with umount
sudo umount /mnt/sdn
where n can be a number 1 or 2 ...
or
sudo umount /dev/sdxm
where x is the drive letter and m is the partition number identified according to the command lines in A. (parted, lsblk, df).
