Connecting Mass Storage


The LinuxBox has two USB ports at its front.
These ports also enable you to attach external mass storages, for example, USB Sticks or non-removable disks.

A free USB port is available internally. A CompactFlash can be attached to this port. A CompactFlash disc is also available among the accessories.

The following instruction allows you to observe how the data carrier is recognized by the LinuxBox:


tail -f /var/log/messages

In this example a 13 GB hard disk drive (HDD) was attached.

The non-removable disk is integrated by entering:


mount -f vfat /dev/sda /mnt/0


df indicates the amount of free memory on the board.
