# You need to add the -t FILESYSTEMTYPE argument to the command, replacing FILESYSTEMTYPE with your filesystem type. This specifies the filesystem type of the filesystem to be mounted. In your case, this would be /dev/sdb2. Some common, valid filesystem types are: | |
# auto - this is a special one. It will try to guess the fs type when you use this. | |
# ext4 - this is probably the most common Linux fs type of the last few years | |
# ext3 - this is the most common Linux fs type from a couple years back | |
# ntfs - this is the most common Windows fs type or larger external hard drives | |
# vfat - this is the most common fs type used for smaller external hard drives | |
# exfat - is also a file system option commonly found on USB flash drives and other external drives | |
mkdir /mnt/data_disk | |
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data_disk | |
# 3. unmount disk | |
sudo umount /dev/sdb1 |
