How to use USB HDD on Linux

Configuration

A single partition would be, edit /etc/fstab

/dev/sda1    /mnt/usbhd1       auto            defaults   0 0

Having created the entry in /etc/fstab, you need to create matching mount point in the actual filesystem.
```
# mkdir /mnt/usbhd1
```
You should now be able to mount your USB HDD with a command like
```
# mount /mnt/usbhd1
```
