# Storage Device Management

In order to interact with a USB device on a Linux system it first has to be
|
||||
`mounted`. In order to mount a USB device, one must first identify the device
|
||||
name, and then use the `mount` command.
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding a Storage Device Name
|
||||
USB devices are assigned names when they are connected to a Linux operating
|
||||
system. The first storage device is assigned the name `sda` (storage device a),
|
||||
the second `sdb`, the third `sdc` and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
One may use the `lsblk` to list the detected storage devices for a system, which
|
||||
will output something like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
|
||||
xvda 202:0 1 50G 0 disk
|
||||
├─xvda1 202:1 1 200M 0 part
|
||||
├─xvda2 202:2 1 2M 0 part
|
||||
└─xvda3 202:3 1 49.8G 0 part /
|
||||
xvdb 202:16 1 1.9T 0 disk /rw
|
||||
xvdc 202:32 1 10G 0 disk
|
||||
├─xvdc1 202:33 1 1G 0 part [SWAP]
|
||||
└─xvdc3 202:35 1 9G 0 part
|
||||
xvdd 202:48 1 526.8M 1 disk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then after plugging in the Storage Device run `lsblk` and look for what's
|
||||
different. In this example, the newly detected storage device is `sdb`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
|
||||
sdb 8:16 1 14.5G 0 disk
|
||||
xvda 202:0 1 50G 0 disk
|
||||
├─xvda1 202:1 1 200M 0 part
|
||||
├─xvda2 202:2 1 2M 0 part
|
||||
└─xvda3 202:3 1 49.8G 0 part /
|
||||
xvdb 202:16 1 1.9T 0 disk /rw
|
||||
xvdc 202:32 1 10G 0 disk
|
||||
├─xvdc1 202:33 1 1G 0 part [SWAP]
|
||||
└─xvdc3 202:35 1 9G 0 part
|
||||
xvdd 202:48 1 526.8M 1 disk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Mounting a Storage Device
|
||||
In order to mount a device, first ensure that the directory you will mount to
|
||||
exists by running:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
mkdir -p /media/usb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the following command to mount the storage device:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo mount /dev/<usb_device_name> /media/usb
