Raspberry Pi headless question

[simbun]

The '4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318' you got from Windows just describes the type of device it is, when you're looking to mount a drive in Linux you need the UUID (universally unique identifier) which uniquely identifies the partition, and enables you to map it to a mount point, which in your case is '5FE6-0DDD' and '/mnt/mymusic'.

Bear in mind that if you were to reformat your USB key the UUID would change (at least it does in Linux) so you'd need to modify your fstab entry.

Also, if you want to update your USB key with files (assuming you're not doing it over the network) make sure you unmount the drive first:

Code:

sudo eject -vs /mnt/mymusic

Then, once you've plugged it back in

Code:

sudo mount -a

Alternatively, just shutdown the Pi and turn it back on once you've updated.
