If we connect the removeable media (external usb, etc) to linux machine, it wont be detected directly until we mount it using unix/linux commands. Here are the step by step:
(login as root)
>> su –
Seek for a disk to attach/mount
>> cd /disk or cd /tmp
>> fdisk -l –> result in /dev/sdcl
>> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdcl /disk
To unmount
>> cd /
>> umount /disk
