[Solved]How do I find the path to my Gnome USB

Post by rtcary » 2017/05/13 20:47:25

Now that my USB drive is auto-mounted by Gnome, how do I find the path to it?

With appreciation...

mount command will list all mounted devices (and usually USB disks are formatted with FAT), so mount | grep vfat:
[aks@tmp ~]$ mount | grep vfat
/dev/sdd1 on /run/media/aks/EA3C-016B type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)
that's my USB disk at /run/media/aks/EA3C-016B.

Thank you. After I posted this question here -- wrong group -- I did the mount command and found the plugged in USB, the hard way: looking at each of the multitude of lines. Next time I use the filter you suggested.

Question: after I realized that I had posted in the wrong group, I could not delete my posting. Is there a way to delete or move a posting?

Many thanks...

Ask a moderator to do it in a post on the thread though I'm not sure which forum you'd rather it went in, it looks OK to me.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
