To manually mount data onto an Ubuntu system, you need to follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you are prepared to mount the disk or partition and know its device name (such as \/dev\/sdb1).<\/li>\n
  2. Create a directory for mounting data, such as \/mnt\/data.<\/li>\n
  3. Create a new directory named “data” in the “\/mnt” directory.<\/li>\n
  4. Mount the data to the newly created directory using the following command.<\/li>\n
  5. Elevate to superuser and mount the device “\/dev\/sdb1” to the directory “\/mnt\/data”.<\/li>\n
  6. Confirm that the data has been successfully mounted to the directory.<\/li>\n
  7. display file system disk space usage in human-readable format<\/li>\n
  8. If you want to keep the mounted state after the system restarts, you can edit the \/etc\/fstab file and add a line to automatically mount the data.<\/li>\n
  9. Mount the ext4 file system located in \/dev\/sdb1 at \/mnt\/data with default options.<\/li>\n
