Mount can't find device in /etc/fstab


  1. Create a directory that you'll use as the mountpoint for your drive:
    mkdir /mnt/mydrive
    
  2. Mount your drive with this command:
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mydrive
    
    Note: If you don't know your drive's device file, you can run sudo fdisk -l or lsblk to identify which one is the partition you're looking for.
  3. Now if you run ls /mnt/mydrive, it should list your drive's files.
  4. When you're done, don't forget to unmount your USB drive before removing it from the computer:
    umount /dev/sdb1
