usb won't mount after format
From Charles Breaux · Dec 03, 2022
Well just spent hours online with no fixes working for me...at least the ones i could understand...
Ubuntu 20.04 Optiplex 7010
I have 3 usbs, 2 of them i reformatted after something went weird and the files all turned to read-only. these 2 show up in disk utility but wont mount, and don't show up in other locations
The 3rd had two partitions on it, so deleted one of the partitions and now it won't mount either. This one shows up in Disk utility and in other locations, but when i eject from there and remove the usb, it still shows up in other locations???
Any hope for these?

Hi Charles. It looks like you messed up your mkdir command. You have a space in front of it and you did not start it with sudo. Only root can make directories in that location.
The space probably kept the command from giving an error that only root can do that.

Mkdir /media/usb-drive/<folder name> would be actual command would it not? Otherwise just trying to folder make the mounted usb drive over again and it’s denying it apparently

thanks Devi. I was just following things I found online. I do not understand <folder name>It is a usb plugged into the computer. what does folder have to do with it. What would the folder name be? I'll add one more thing, I thought one of usb drives was showing up on other locations, but none of the usb drives show up in other locations, however they all show up in the disk utility...
