HOW To mount a USB drive in the Linux command line, follow these steps: 

1) Insert the USB Drive: Plug in your USB drive to one of the available USB ports on your computer.

2) Identify the Device Name: Open a terminal window and enter the following command to list the connected storage devices and identify your USB drive:

Type: lsblk

This command will display a list of devices and their partitions. Look for your USB drive, which is usually listed as something like /dev/sdX, where X is a letter representing the device (e.g., /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc.). 

3) Create a Mount Point: You need a directory (folder) where you'll mount the USB drive. You can create a new directory for this purpose using the mkdir command. For example: 

Type: sudo mkdir /media/usb

This command creates a directory named "usb" inside the "/media" directory. You may choose a different location if you prefer. 

/media/u

4) Mount the USB Drive: To mount the USB drive, use the mount command along with the device name and the mount point: 

Type: sudo mount /dev/sdX /media/usb

Replace /dev/sdX with the actual device name you identified earlier. 

5) Access the Mounted USB Drive: You can now access the contents of your USB drive by navigating to the mount point you created. For example: 

Type: cd /media/usb

You can also use any file manager to access the mounted USB drive by navigating to the directory you specified as the mount point. 

6) Unmount the USB Drive: When you're done using the USB drive, it's essential to unmount it before physically removing it to prevent data corruption. To unmount it, use the umount command: 

• Make sure not to have any open files or directories within the mounted USB drive when unmounting.

That's it! You have successfully mounted your USB drive in the Linux command line. Remember to replace /dev/sdX with the appropriate device name for your USB drive.
