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
should be a directory for your disk drive to access the files. That is
usually what happens. Is this not happening for you?

Subject: [program-l] reading/writing USB data in Linux?
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
