[SOLVED] Need help mounting usb device
I'm fairly new to Arch and I have an issue with how to mount an mp3 player that works as a usb device.
I don't know exactly how to configure my system to automount it nor mount it manually.
When I type in fdisk -l here is my output
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Any ideas?

NVM I just solved this, all I had to do was this:
sudo mkdir /mnt/usbstick
then
sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usbstick
And I navigated to my mnt directory and all my files were di.splayed
