First check it is /dev/sdb by using dmesg
Just after you have plugged it in. It may be /dev/sdc for instance. Next there is an error in your mount command as you are missing the partition. You can't mount a drive, you can only mount a partition, so assuming there is 1 partition you would use: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk On Wednesday 11 November 2009 11:48:46 Benoit durand wrote: > hello, > > I 've a external hard disk on usb. > I don't found /dev/sdb. > is it normal ? how can i mount my external hard disk 2,5 pouce on usb. > i'd like to do that : > mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt/disk > > thanks > Ben > -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
