Re: [arch-general] how to mount external hdd

<press ctrl-alt-F2> and login

$ cat /proc/partitions #idenitfy the partition, is usually one of the last ones, lets assume it is /dev/sdXY

$ sudo mount /dev/sdXY /path/to/mount/point

$ exit

<press ctrl-alt-F7> to go back to your login manager....

Not sure what kind of answer you were looking for.....

That is the right answer. When you say /path/to/mount/point . What should I put there? Or were you saying that /dev/sdXY is the path to the mount point. Also in the command cat /proc/partitions do i type # identify - so that it would be like this- cat /proc/partitions #idenitfy , Thanks, Preston
