List devices

To list devices that can be mounted:

shell

lsblk

Then mount the device with:

shell

mount OPTIONS /dev/sdXN /home/user/Mount

Option	Description
`-o` `--options`	Use the specified mount options. The argument is a comma-separated list.

Mount option	Description
`nodev`	Do not interpret character or block special devices on the filesystem.
`nosuid`	Do not honor set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits or file capabilities when executing programs from this filesystem.
`noexec`	Do not permit direct execution of any binaries on the mounted filesystem.
`loop`	Mount via the loop device.
`uid=`	Make all files in the filesystem belong to the given user.
`gid=`	Make all files in the filesystem belong to the given group.
`fmask=`	Set the `umask` applied to regular files.

File systems used for data may be mounted with lower permissions (for security).

fish

mount -o nodev,nosuid,noexec /dev/sdc1 ~/Mount

Set the gid and uid of the device (needed if not a Linux file system).

fish

mount -o nodev,nosuid,noexec,uid=(id -u),gid=(id -g) /dev/sdc1 ~/Mount

Set fmask to remove execution permission from files:

fish

mount -o nodev,nosuid,noexec,fmask=111 /dev/sdc1 ~/Mount

Mount a file that has a filesystem into it:

fish

mount -o loop somefile ~/Mount

Unmount the device with:

shell

umount /dev/sdXN
