The steps for mounting a hard drive in Ubuntu are as follows:
- Connect the hard drive to the computer and boot up Ubuntu.
- Open the terminal (shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + T).
- Show block devices.
- – directory in the file system in Linux
- Create a directory named “myharddrive” in the “/mnt” directory with elevated permissions.
- Please list all the storage devices.
- List block devices.
- The device named /dev/sdb
- Elevate permissions and mount /dev/sdb to /mnt/myharddrive.
- show disk usage in a human-readable format
If you need the hard drive to automatically mount every time the computer starts up, you can edit the /etc/fstab file and add a line similar to the following information:
/dev/sdb /mnt/myharddrive ext4 defaults 0 0
This way, the hard drive will automatically mount to the specified folder every time the computer starts up.
