Mount Drive From Terminal

Mount a drive on Ubuntu Server via the terminal. I use this for mounting external SSDs to servers as well as small systems like Raspberry Pis.

lsblk

sudo blkid /dev/sda

sudo mkdir -p /media/SSDNAME

sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /media/SSDNAME

sudo nano /etc/fstab

UUID="UUID-HERE" /media/SSDNAME ext4 defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail,noatime 0 0

sudo mount -a

df -hT
