I cant mount my newly created partition in gparted [closed]

The option to mount my new partition is grayed out and I need the partition mounted so i can use it to create a Linux Distro using LinuxFromScratch.

Solution 1:

I'm not an expert, but I don't think you can mount a partition in GParted. You can only unmount one which is required before you can do anything with it. So, you're going to have to mount your partition manually. Here's the command that's used to do that:

$ sudo mount -t auto \
> -o rw \
> /dev/[BLOCK_DEVICE][PARTITION_NUMBER] [MOUNT_POINT] \
> -v

If your partition is /dev/sdb1, you mount it at the mnt directory like this:

$ sudo mount -t auto \
> -o rw \
> /dev/sdb1 /mnt \
> -v
