CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 145

A systems administrator is tasked with mounting a USB drive on a system. The USB drive has a single partition, and it has been mapped by the system to the device /dev/sdb. Which of the following commands will mount the USB to /media/usb?

Answer options

• A. mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
• B. mount /dev/sdb0 /media/usb
• C. mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
• D. mount -t usb /dev/sdb1 /media/usb

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is 'mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb' because /dev/sdb1 represents the first partition of the USB drive that needs to be mounted. Options B and D are incorrect as /dev/sdb0 does not exist and -t usb is not a valid option in this context, making C incorrect as it attempts to mount the entire device instead of the specific partition.
