How to mount a solid-state drive in CentOS 7

The steps to mount a solid-state drive on CentOS 7 are as follows:

1. Firstly, insert the solid state drive into the computer and make sure the computer can recognize the drive properly. You can use the lsblk command to view all disk devices.
2. Open the terminal window and create a partition using the following command:

sudo fdisk /dev/sdX

Be sure to replace /dev/sdX with the name of your solid state drive device. For example, if the solid state drive device name is /dev/sdb, you should use /dev/sdb to replace /dev/sdX.

1. Enter the following command at the fdisk command prompt to create a new partition:

n

Then input the starting and ending sectors of the partition according to the prompts. Default values can be used by pressing Enter.

1. Enter the following command to set the partition type to a Linux file system (such as ext4):

t

Next, select the corresponding code for the Linux file system according to the prompts (e.g. 83).

1. Enter the following command to save and exit fdisk:

w

1. Create a file system using the following command.

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1

Ensure to replace /dev/sdX1 with the partition you have created. Similarly, if you used /dev/sdb as the device name in step 2, then use /dev/sdb1 as the partition name.

1. Create a mount point directory, for example:

sudo mkdir /mnt/mydrive

1. Mount the file system to the mount point using the following command.

sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/mydrive

Make sure to replace /dev/sdX1 with the partition you have created.

1. The configuration file for the file system table.

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add the following lines at the end of the document:

/dev/sdX1 /mnt/mydrive ext4 defaults 0 0

Be sure to replace /dev/sdX1 with the partition you have created.

1. the file used for mounting filesystems at boot time

You have successfully mounted the solid-state drive on CentOS 7. You can access the drive by visiting the /mnt/mydrive directory.
