USB storage
USB storage does not automatically mount. The supported file system is FAT. To use USB storage, first mount the device.
1
Create a mount directory for the USB.
ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/usb
2
View the fixed disks using fdisk.
ONIE:/mnt # fdisk -l
For internal storage:
Disk /dev/sda: 15.8 GB, 15829303296 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1925 1 ee EFI GPT
For USB storage:
Disk /dev/sdb: 30.9 GB, 30942946304 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 29509 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

Mount the device
/dev/sdb
to the
/mnt/usb
directory.
ONIE:/ # mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

The following message displays if the
/mnt/usb
directory is missing:

OPTIONAL: Add a device to the file systems table (
fstab
) and mount the file systems.
ONIE:/ # vi /etc/fstab
# FSTAB entry for the ONIE-BOOT partition mounted on /boot
LABEL=ONIE-BOOT /mnt/onie-boot ext4 defaults,rw,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb /mnt/usb vfat defaults 0 1
ONIE:/ # mount -a
