I'm not even sure how to use it correctly. I just typed "mount" for the
heck of it, and got a bunch of code that really doesn't mean anything to
me. It would take a week to transcribe it, but one example line is "cgroup
on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup
(ru,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices)". I don't think it's an error...
maybe it's listing potential devices? I only have 3-4 USB ports but there
are well over a dozen lines of this ciphertext. I'm guessing there are
other required command-line options, unknown to all but the ultimate
gurus. Maybe I can do "man mount" to get a general gist, and then Google
each option in depth to get a clue lol.
On the other hand, it kind of sounds like you DO know how to do this - any
pointers? :)

So when you use the mount command to mount your drive, unmder //mnt/ there

Hey guys,
So I've been using Linux a lot lately; VMs at home and work, the Raspberry
Pi, but I've never been able to figure out how to save files to a USB
drive, or open existing files stored in a USB drive. I've done plenty of
Googlework, and apparently there is this concept called "mounting"
involved, but I haven't been able to dig up a clear explanation of what it
is, how it works, if/when it is required, which Linux distros require it,
etc. etc. etc. I've tried running a few commands from Stack Overflow
posts, and they don't throw errors or anything, but they don't work either;
and again, explanation is scarce. Maybe there's a "man usb" or something?
:D
So what is a super-simple thing in Windows is advanced cryptography in
Linux apparently... has anyone here ever managed to launch this rocket?
lol thanks
