USB-drive wont work [SOLVED]

[Nikolai1990]

The ISO 21.01.20 simply did not work for me, installing the latest build (GhostBSD-12-21.02.19) did the trick.
It works with Fat32 and also NTFS format

Hello, I am quit new at this.
I have a UBS drive with 16 GB, and it is formatted in Fat32.

I have GhostBSD on a laptop installed with an older installation, and there it work just fine. I just plug in and go.

I have installed GhostBSD on my desktop, and there it does not work. I plug it in and nothing happens.
I have no idea where to start, and I have tried to consult the FreeBSD handbook, but I know GhostBSD is supposed to just work.

friendly regards

I had the same problem of the USB not mounting in 21.01.20 and found this which worked fine for me:
In a terminal: sudo pkg install -fy automount Exit from terminal and reboot.
When I moved to the current version 13 USB mounting worked just fine and still does. Good luck.,

===mount exFat===
* sudo pkg search exfat
* pkg info fusefs-exfat
* sudo pkg install fusefs-exfat
* sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/da0p1 /media/da0p1
* ls -l /media/da0p1
* umount /dev/da0p1 or umount /media/da0p1

mount NTFS
Do first gpart show
Install: ntfs-3g
* pkg search ntfs
* pkg info fusefs-ntfs
* pkg list fusefs-ntfs
* pkg install fusefs-ntfs

Write in a terminal window: # ntfs-3g /dev/da5s1 /mnt
da5s1 is an example
/mnt is the mountpoint directory you wish to use
open Thunar and go to /mnt directory
