I have attempted to mount USB external formatted media on a SL7 system. One was a flash drive with a MS format (reported by parted as FAT32); the other was a 2 Tbyte hard drive XFS formatted on a different SL7 system.
In both cases, the system automatically generated /dev/sdg when the USB device was connected through a USB port. parted on each device reported the correct file system and size/partition. As root, I created /mount/mnt1, but all attempts to mount /dev/sdg /mount/mnt1 failed with an unknown file system, even with the modifier -t (e.g., -t xfs for the xfs format USB hard drive). Why do parted and mount have this difference? Yasha Karant
