其实Linux环境下挂载USB设备并不算复杂。

首先通过fdisk –l检查USB设备是否已经被系统识别：

[root@bjtest ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 1197.7 GB, 1197759004672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track,, 145619 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 5235 41945715 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 5236 10457 41945715 83 Linux

/dev/sda7 14113 145619 1056329946 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7297 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 2 3825 30716280 f W95 Ext’d (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 * 3826 7297 27888840 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 2 3825 30716248+ b W95 FAT32

可以看到/dev/sdb就是USB盘，而且这个U盘花费了多个区，尝试通过MOUNT命令挂载U盘，对于fat16、fat32和ntfs在Linux系统中可以统一使用vfat来指定：

[root@bjtest ~]# mkdir /mnt/usb1 /mnt/usb2
[root@bjtest ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
(aren’t you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

[root@bjtest ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usb1
[root@bjtest ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb5 /mnt/usb2
[root@bjtest ~]# df -k

/dev/sdb5 30701232 176 30701056 1% /mnt/usb2

其中/dev/sdb1无法挂载，不过可以看到，/dev/sdb2和/dev/sdb5挂载后，两个文件系统总和就是60G，说明USB盘已经挂载成功。

卸载USB设备就更容易了，只需要执行umount /mnt/usb1和umount /mnt/usb2就可以了：

[root@bjtest /]# umount /mnt/usb1
[root@bjtest /]# umount /mnt/usb2
