Mounting drives is an essential task when working with Linux systems. It allows you to access files and folders stored on external devices like USBs or network drives. To perform a mount operation, you first need to identify the device using the `lsblk` command. For example, if your device is `/dev/sdb1`, you can create a mount point by running `sudo mkdir /mnt/usb`. Then, use the `mount` command: `sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb`.

Once mounted, you can explore the contents using `ls` or copy files as needed. Remember to unmount the drive before unplugging it to avoid data corruption. Use `sudo umount /mnt/usb` to safely unmount. Properly managing mounts ensures data integrity and system stability. 🛠️

Mounting drives might seem daunting at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. It’s like giving your system access to new storage worlds! ✨
