How to use USB HDD on Linux

Tested by I-O DATA HDA-1U80 (80G) and Red Hat 9 on 25th April 2003

Configuration

1. A single partition would be, edit /etc/fstab

   /dev/sda1    /mnt/usbhd1       auto            defaults   0 0

2. Having created the entry in /etc/fstab, you need to create matching mount point in the actual filesystem.

   # mkdir /mnt/usbhd1

3. You should now be able to mount your USB HDD with a command like

   # mount /mnt/usbhd
