It may be /dev/sdc for instance. Next there is an error in your mount command as you are missing the partition. You can't mount a drive, you can only mount a partition, so assuming there is 1 partition you would use: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk <div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Wednesday 11 November 2009 11:48:46 Benoit durand wrote: > hello, > > I 've a external hard disk on usb. > I don't found /dev/sdb. > is it normal ? how can i mount my external hard disk 2,5 pouce on usb. > i'd like to do that : > mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt/disk > > thanks > Ben > </div></div>-- ubuntu-server mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server</a> More info: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam</a> </blockquote></div>
