  1. list what's hooked up lsblk
$ lsblk

  1. check filesystem type of disk or partition with blkid /dev/sdb1
$ blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="iceberg2" UUID="c6827f45-f45f-4255-93c0-a731f5f47530" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="f43267ef-4e45-47e1-9450-c704fb881821"

$ blkid /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="octo8" UUID="03aa148e-a71f-4547-87c7-cce55836c7f2" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="be8d8d52-8a45-49d7-8de8-ba377011ff53"

$ blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: LABEL="drivewallet256" UUID="d8f7b614-98ab-40fc-995b-d82ccabd4058" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4"

  1. make directory according to label
    $ sudo mkdir /mnt/octo8

  2. manually mount partition
    $ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/iceberg2
    $ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/octo8
    $ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /mnt/drivewallet256

  3. check if drive successfully mounted with df -h

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           3.2G  1.9M  3.2G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p3  234G   12G  211G   6% /
tmpfs            16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
/dev/nvme0n1p2  512M  5.3M  507M   2% /boot/efi
tmpfs           3.2G  124K  3.2G   1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdc1       7.3T  1.8T  5.2T  25% /mnt/octo8
  1. unmount with `$ sudo umount /dev/sdb1

Persistent Mounting with fstab

  1. $ sudo nano /etc/fstab (or with vim if you are into that)

  2. add new entry

/dev/sdb1      /mnt/iceberg2          ext4    defaults        0       0
/dev/sdc1      /mnt/octo8             ext4    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda       /mnt/drivewallet256    ext4    defaults        0       0

# mount network drive
//192.168.1.102/share /mnt/share cifs username=USER,password=PASSWORD 0 0
//mint.lan/share /mnt/share cifs username=USER,password=PASSWORD 0 0

  1. mount all with $ sudo mount -a (use the -f flag to fake process)

  2. check to see drives mounted

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           3.2G  1.9M  3.2G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p3  234G   16G  206G   7% /
tmpfs            16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
/dev/nvme0n1p2  512M  5.3M  507M   2% /boot/efi
tmpfs           3.2G  128K  3.2G   1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdc1       7.3T  1.8T  5.2T  25% /mnt/octo8
/dev/sdb1       1.8T  137G  1.6T   8% /mnt/iceberg2
/dev/sda        234G   71G  151G  32% /mnt/drivewallet256

mount single drive sudo mount.cifs -v //SPEARMINT/media /ntwmnt/media --verbose -o user=USERNAME,password=SERCRETPASSWORD
