The /dev/sdb2 was mounted on /media/debian/WINFAT
.
df /media/debian/WINFAT
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2 24406016 402256 24003760 2% /media/debian/WINFAT
Umount it:
sudo umount /dev/sdb2
Remount it with command
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/debian/WINFAT
mount: mount point /media/debian/WINFAT does not exist
Why can’t remount the disk with command?
Note:you can move mouse over the WINFAT
and left click to mount it.
The target directory must exist before mounting. And it will continue to exist after unmounting. It was actually removed by something else after your 'umount' command had completed.
Your file manager handles disk mounting with the UDisks2 service, which is designed for handling portable media – so it automatically creates the mountpoint directories when needed, and it's also UDisks2 which automatically removes them as soon as the mount itself is undone.
So when using the regular 'mount' command you don't get any of this automation; you need to mkdir
the target directory before you'll be able to mount anything on it.
# mkdir /media/debian/WINFAT
# mount /dev/sdb2 /media/debian/WINFAT
After unmounting a disk mounted this way, the directory should remain:
# umount /media/debian/WINFAT
# ls -l /media/debian
Or you can also call UDisks2 like your file manager does, and get the same automation:
$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb2
...
$ udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb2
