  • frontporsche, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1An easy way to mount a removable device is with "pmount":

    $ pmount /dev/sda1 Fran

    to mount as /media/Fran. If the sda1 filesystem happens to be labeled, the, you can do:

    $ pmount {/dev/disk/by-label/,}Fran

    and you don't have to lookup which drive to use. (I wish you could just do "pmount Fran", but pmount isn't that smart yet.)
