In addition to
J65nko's article, you should familiarize yourself with
Section 14.17 of the FAQ. The important
(abbreviated) steps are to:
- Identify the device node used by the kernel to identify your attached device. This can be found in the output of dmesg(8).
- Identify what partition (if the external drive is already initialized) the kernel is using to name the external drive through disklabel(8). By default, foreign filesystems will get a partition letter of "i" or higher (because "i" is mid-way between "a" & "p"), but don't blindly assume "i" is the letter of the device. The definitive test is to look at the output of disklabel(8).
- Mount the device according to the information found in the mount(8) manpage.
To unmount, look at
umount(8).
