Finally you mount the drive. As mentioned before, the mount point has to exist before you issue the mount command. A typical place for USB drives to be mounted is /media. If there is already a mount point in /media you can check it by listing the directory contents of media.
ll /media
Once you have a suitable location, make sure nothing is mounted there by issuing the mount command from the terminal with no arguments. If you wanted to mount the drive /dev/sdb1 at /media/usbdrive, you would issue the following command
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive
ls -lh /media/usbdrive/
Unmount the drive before unplugging it with
umount /dev/sdb1
umount /dev/sda1 (when finished)
Note: When configuring a USB drive to be used by the built in [[SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter10|Workstation Backup To USB]] you must ensure that the drive is not mounted automatically. When configuring the Workstation Backup, it will look for unmounted removable drives and allow you to select what you want. If the drive is already mounted when you configure it then you will get an error saying "No Removable disk available".
