accessing drives on Linux
[blkid
chown
fstab
gphoto

For the disk partitions permanently installed in a linux box, I have, of course, fstab.
For plugged in USB drives, I rely on udiskie
, an automounter for udisks.
When I’m looking for plugged in partitions, I use these two:
doas blkid -o list # shows fs_type
lsblk -f
Of course I sometimes need to # umount /dev/sdx
or # mount /dev/sdx
, and # chown -R jo:jo /run/media/jo/<drive>
.
For the dastardly NTFS partitions that I use for easier sharing between operating systems, I’ve NTFS-3G.
For my digital camera, gPhoto gets its storage partition visible in PCMan File Manager.
