How can I mount a drive using terminal?

[Uewd]

I want to mount a drive using terminal or a run command, but how can I do this?

Please help.
Thanks.

Create directory to mount dive to. Mount point must exist & be read write by user. ie /home/user/external

In terminal run

sudo fdisk -l

enter password

Work out which is the drive you want to mount & it's filesystem. ie /dev/sdb & ntfs

Then in terminal

sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/user/external ntfs

This will mount a drive /dev/sdb formatted to ntfs to /home/user/external

This needs to be adjusted to suit your needs.

There are loads of options to the mount command, for details see the manual page

man mount

When done with drive unmount with this

sudo umount /home/user/external

I liked your Idea (but didn't try it). Sorry I forgot to tell you that I want a command to add it on startup so that the drive will be mounted automatically.
Thanks.
