Not quite sure but with me:
- Create a mount point (ie a directory)
- Mount the drive to that directory
The mount command I used (as root: I have not been worked out how to
mount it as a user) is
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbHD
ie as root: mount
-t vfat [type of the file system]
/dev/sda [where the device is physically attached]
/mnt/usbHD [the directory on my system that I have created]
At the BBQ, I gathered that the next stages were amend /etc/fstab so
that the usb was readable by the appropriate users (man fstab). I have
not done this yet
