Mounting or unmounting a file system
Generally, file systems on a hot-swappable storage medium are automatically mounted when the storage medium is connected to the device. If the system cannot recognize a file system, you must mount the file system before you can access it.
To remove a hot-swappable storage medium from the device, you must first unmount all file systems on the storage medium to disconnect the medium from the device. Removing a connected hot-swappable storage medium might damage files on the storage medium or even the storage medium itself.
To use an unmounted file system, you must mount the file system again.
Restrictions and guidelines
You can mount or unmount a file system only when no other users are accessing the file system.
To prevent a USB disk and the USB interface from being damaged, make sure the following requirements are met before unmounting file systems on the USB disk:
The system has recognized the USB disk.
The USB disk LED is not blinking.
