To access the FAT32 filesystem from a Linux system, you can use the mount
command. The mount
command allows you to mount a filesystem or storage device to a mount point in the Linux filesystem hierarchy.
Here is an example of how to mount a FAT32 filesystem on a USB drive to the /mnt
directory:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
In this example, /dev/sda1
is the device file representing the USB drive, and /mnt
is the mount point. The -t vfat
option specifies the filesystem type as FAT32.
After running this command, the contents of the USB drive will be available in the /mnt
directory. You can then access and modify the files on the USB drive as if they were on the local filesystem.
To unmount the filesystem, you can use the umount
command:
sudo umount /mnt
This will unmount the filesystem from the /mnt
directory, making it unavailable for access.
Note: You may need to be logged in as the root user or use
sudo
to run themount
andumount
commands, depending on your system configuration. Consult the documentation and online resources available for more information on the various options and features available for mounting and accessing different types of filesystems on Linux.
