Disk Mount and Manage in Linux

Mount the disk

if the name of your drive you want to mount is /dev/sda2. And you want to mount it as /media/Side, the quickest way is:

sudo mkdir /media/Side
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/Side

Check the drive list and find it

df -h could view all hard drive storage information
fdisk -l could print more detailed partition drives

sudo fdisk -l

As you can see the basic information belowe. This Disk as 3.7 TiB in total but was splited into four partitions

Disk /dev/sda: 3.7 TiB, 4000787030016 bytes, 7814037168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 01EA470B-E7C7-4AB8-BCE5-88319B2E0C64

Device          Start        End    Sectors  Size Type
/dev/sda1        2048     264191     262144  128M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sda2      264192 3894284119 3894019928  1.8T Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda3  3894284288 3895334911    1050624  513M EFI System
/dev/sda4  3895334912 7814035455 3918700544  1.8T Linux filesystem

we can also use sudo parted -l to print partitions, only (phoenixnap, 2020):

Model: ATA ST4000DM004-2CV1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 4001GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name                          Flags
 1      1049kB  135MB   134MB                Microsoft reserved partition  msftres
 2      135MB   1994GB  1994GB  ntfs         Basic data partition          msftdata
 3      1994GB  1994GB  538MB   fat32        EFI System Partition          boot, esp
 4      1994GB  4001GB  2006GB  ext4

And you can see that half of it, 1.8 TiB was given Linux system and another half was given Windows System.

The “sshfs” command in Linux is used to mount a remote file system on a local machine over an SSH connection. It allows users to securely access and manipulate files on a remote machine as if they were on the local machine. The command syntax typically involves specifying the remote host and directory to mount, as well as the local directory to mount it to.
