Mounting an external hard drive in Centos with an EFI system
by Andrew Stallard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KQYX)
I am running Centos 8 and I am trying to access an external hard drive.
The output of the fdisk -l command is:
Code:Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 1230847 1228800 600M EFI System
/dev/sda2 1230848 3327999 2097152 1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 3328000 625141759 621813760 296.5G Linux LVMAnd my etc/fstab file contains the lines:
Code:UUID=0D7B-1AE0 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
When I try to mount the drive to the usb directory with the command:
Code:mount /boot/efi /usbI get the error:
Code:mount: /usb: /boot/efi is not a block device.Is this even possible to mount an device with this kind of file system on linux?
I tried using a Windows 7 virtual machine and it didn't recognize the device either.
Is it possible to do this?
