The first disk,
/dev/mmcblk0
, is the SD card in the Raspberry Pi. The second,
/dev/
sda/
, is a USB flash drive we put in one of the Pi's USB connections to use as the
example shared storage. Create a mount directory for the drive:
$ mkdir /mnt/PiShare
To see whether you were successful, run
ls /mnt
, and you should see
PiSamba
listed.
Open
/etc/fstab
in your favorite text editor, so you can tell it to connect to PiSamba
at boot:
$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
The contents of the file will look something like this:
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
#
LABEL="rootfs" / ext4 defaults,noa

LABEL="boot" /boot vfat noauto,com
ment=systemd.automount 1 2
/swap0 swap swap
Add the following line at the bottom:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/PiShare vfat defaults 0 0
For the first part, use the device name you saw listed when you ran
fdisk
(in this
example,
/dev/sda/
). Be sure to change
PiSamba
if you used a different name for your
mount, and make
ntfs-3g
whatever type of hard drive format you used. Save the file,
exit, and mount the share:
$ mount -a
