USB storage
USB storage does not automatically mount. The supported file system is FAT. To use USB storage, first mount the device using the
following steps:
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
