Checkpoint : Mount USB Memory Stick / Pen Drive to Splat

Ever wanted to use an USB stick on OpenServer using SPLAT or an appliance?

Just connect the device to an USB port of your choice.

1. Load the appropriate kernel module for handling the USB device.
* modprobe usb-storage

2. Check which new device was bound, for example "/dev/sda1".
* fdisk -l

3. Create a mount point.
* mkdir /mnt/usbdisk

4. Mount USB device.
* mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdisk

5. Use the device to transfer data as you like.   "[DATA Transafer]"

6. Unmount USB device.
* umount /mnt/usbdisk
