Open/Mount HDD in SSD in linux

In order to show all available disk and mount point linux/Ubuntu:

Step 1:

lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

--> Result of above command
sda 931.5G

└─sda1 vfat 931.5G HDD
sr0 1024M

nvme0n1 119.2G

├─nvme0n1p1 vfat 512M /boot/efi

└─nvme0n1p2 ext4 118.8G /

From my end it was sda1 and it was not mounted

Find mount point of the disk by below command
Step 2: Result of [

findmnt /dev/sda1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

] is below

/media/shaikh/HDD /dev/sda1 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fm

Step 2: Result of [

df -h
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

] is below
/dev/sda1 932G 32K 932G 1% /mnt/sda1

Create new mount point directory
Step 3:

sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

// mount the sd1 to mount point

Step 4:

sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

// Check the mount point

Step 5 :

findmnt /dev/sda1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/mnt/sda1 /dev/sda1 vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro
