User Feedback :: Mounting second pendrive



I am using DSL 2.3 RC1 booted from pendrive

After I insert a second pendrive how do I access it?

What search keywords should be used to find the answer in a previous post?

If hotplug has detected it then you can mount it in /mnt. You can tell what has been mounted by running mount in a terminal without any other parameters.
I find using emelfm to be the easiest:

Navigate to /mnt in it, left click once on the relevant device/partition eg sdb1, click the right hand mouse button and click on "mount"

Emelfm will take a few seconds to show the new device if you plug it in while you're already viewing /mnt

With the pen drive installed. I clicked through the mount tool and the second pen drive did not appear.
Going to Emelfm and naviigating to /mnt shows /sda1 the boot pen and sdb1 the second pen. I can click on it and Emelfm shows /mnt/sdb1 as an empty folder. I can mkdir and then try to copy a file to that directory and get a "no space left on device" message.

With emelfm you right click to get a submenu with the mount command.
