Mount usb storage

1. Mount only by GUID
   • Label, Name, etc — not static
   • GUID — static, but can change after reformat
2. Create mount directory

   mkdir path/to/mount/point

3. View storage info (remember device name)

   sudo lsblk

   Example

   NAME                            MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
   sda                               8:0    0   5.5T  0 disk  
   ├─sda1                            8:1    0   5.5T  0 part  
   └─sda9                            8:9    0     8M  0 part  
   sdb                               8:16   0   5.5T  0 disk  
   ├─sdb1                            8:17   0   5.5T  0 part  
   └─sdb9                            8:25   0     8M  0 part

4. Get device GUID (take GUID by name)

   sudo blkid | grep "DeviceName"

   Example

   /dev/sdb2: UUID="41c22818-fbad-4da6-8196-c816df0b7aa8" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

5. Set auto mount after reboot

   nano /etc/fstab

   Paste the last line with your options

   UUID={YOUR-GUID}    {/path/to/mount/point}               {file-system-type}    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1

6. Manual mount

   mount -a

7. Check MountPoint

   sudo lsblk

   NAME                            MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
   sda                               8:0    0   5.5T  0 disk  
   ├─sda1                            8:1    0   5.5T  0 part  
   └─sda9                            8:9    0     8M  0 part  
   sdb                               8:16   0   5.5T  0 disk  
   ├─sdb1                            8:17   0   5.5T  0 part  
   └─sdb9                            8:25   0     8M  0 part  
   sdc                               8:32   0 298.1G  0 disk  
   └─sdc1                            8:33   0 298.1G  0 part  /mnt/backup
