This section explains USB automounts, a feature in NCS 1004 devices that automatically mounts compatible USB storage devices for simplified file management and transfer between system components.
A USB automount is a system feature that
-
automatically mounts a USB device in the sysadmin-vm with read and write permissions,
-
supports automount only when the USB device file system is FAT or FAT32, and
-
allows you to access files and folders on the mounted USB device through the disk2: file system, without needing to explicitly mount the device.
Operational details
-
When you insert a USB device into NCS 1004, it is automatically mounted in sysadmin-vm with read and write permissions, and, by default, is unmounted in XR-vm.
-
If the USB file system is not FAT or FAT32, the device will not be automounted in sysadmin-vm.
-
To access or transfer files, you can use the disk2: file system reference.
-
You must unmount the USB device from sysadmin-vm before physically removing it from NCS 1004.
-
If you need to remount the USB device after unmounting but before removing it, use the
mountcommand. -
You can mount the USB device in both XR-vm and sysadmin-vm at the same time. Before physically removing the USB device from NCS 1004, unmount it from both sysadmin-vm and XR-vm
