Mounting pendrive

I have songs on my pen drive and I wanted to mount on Pi.

when I have inserted USB drive it was not mounted automaticall.

For mounting USB drive when you insert the USB drive it will detected by Pi, you can check using command

dmesg

I got the following in output

[ 3366.886885] usb 1-1.2: Product: USB DISK

It says USB drive detected (sda: sda1) with sda1. now we need to mount this drive. create any folder name tmp or usb ( I used tmp)

mkdir tmp

then mount the usd drive

mount /dev/sda1 /home/pi/tmp (better you give full path)

It will mount you can check with df command

root@raspberrypi:~# ls
tmp
root@raspberrypi:~# mount /dev/sda1 /home/pi/tmp/
root@raspberrypi:~# df -kh
