How to mount U disk of FAT32 on Linux system

The Linux mount U disk steps are as follows

1: insert the U disk into the USB interface and check whether it is properly inserted

2: check the partition and USB device information with the fdisk command

[root@wgods ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 121601 976655610 8e Linux LVM

Disk /dev/sdb: 4012 MB, 4012900352 bytes
223 heads, 55 sectors/track, 639 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 12265 * 512 = 6279680 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 56 640 3580928 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(42, 17, 40) logical=(55, 23, 1)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(487, 222, 55) logical=(639, 6, 31)

From the above information, we can see that the USB device is in FAT32 format, identified as /dev/sdb1

[root@wgods ~]# fdisk -l | grep FAT32
/dev/sdb1 * 56 640 3580928 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

3: create a directory of usb under mnt

[root@wgods ~]# cd /mnt/
[root@wgods mnt]# mkdir usb

4: mount U disk
[root@wgods mnt]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

After successful mount, we can see the relevant content under /mount/usb.

5: uninstall U disk

When executing the umount command to uninstall U disk, the following error "device is busy" is reported. The problem can be resolved using the parameter l. You can also use the fuser command to solve the problem. As shown below.

[root@wgods ~]# umount /mnt/usb
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy

[root@wgods ~]# umount -f /mnt/usb
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy

[root@wgods ~]# umount -l /mnt/usb

 

Problem solving

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[root@wgods usb]# umount /mnt/usb
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy
umount: /mnt/usb: device is busy
[root@wgods usb]# fuser -m /mnt/usb
/mnt/usb: 21123c 21158c 21180c 21182c 21223c
[root@wgods usb]# ps -auxw | grep 21123

[root@wgods usb]# fuser -kvm /mnt/usb

USER PID ACCESS COMMAND

[etl@wgods ~]$ umount /mnt/usb
umount: /mnt/usb is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
[etl@wgods ~]$ su - root
Password:
[root@wgods ~]# umount /mnt/usb

 

6: delete the usb directory
[root@wgods ~]# umount -l /mnt/usb
[root@wgods ~]# rm -rf /mnt/usb

Note: sometimes when mounting, the Chinese file name and directory name will appear messy code, in order to avoid this situation, you can specify a character set, the following command

[root@wgods ~]# mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,codepage=uft8 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

[root@wgods ~]# mount -t vfat -o iocharset=cp936,codepage=936 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Note: cp936 means simplified Chinese, cp950 means traditional Chinese.
