Mounting an USB hard drive

[Stef1962]

Hi all,
I am very new here, this is my first post. My project will be - eventually - a Raspberry Pi music box. My first big hurdle: I can't mount my hard drive.
The drive is a Seagate 1D6ADD-500 with 1 TB capacity and it contains a copy of my music collection. I connected the drive to a powered USB hub and the hub is connected to the Raspberry. The USB hub is working, I tested it with the keyboard and it works. The problem I think is I don't know which filesystem type it has. The Seagate website doesn't say. It can't be FAT as it has one 1TB partition. Any help, please?

Thanks,

Stef.

From the console you can do the following:

To get the USB device:
sudo fdisk -l
Normally it will be /dev/sda1

Create a directory where you want to mount the drive e.g. ext1
sudo mkdir /mnt/ext1
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ext1

If you want to automount the drive when the RPi starts you need to edit fstab.
