Asked by mm1250 in Linux

Tags: , ,

Hello,

I am a Linux newbie, I just installed my CentOS server a couple of days ago now I have a 250GB USB Drive when i attached and want to mount it as /backup as a drive to store nightly backups.  I have tried reading around but need help doing this.  I plugged in the drive and did a tail on the log and came up with:


root@john [~]# tail /var/log/messages
Apr 20 16:21:41 john kernel:   Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 04
Apr 20 16:21:41 john kernel: SCSI device sdb: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB)
Apr 20 16:21:41 john kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off
Apr 20 16:21:41 john kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through
