pulling my hair out! (Cant mount drive debian 10)

[DavidKalinowski]

okay this is stupid, and it should not be an issue. I set up a new debian 10 server, I'm litterally logged in as root now. (I know bad etc. but its an isolated network and this is just a test/proof of concept so I can show my boss what FogServer can do)

 

I have the main 500GB drive that I installed on. then a 1TB and a 2TB drive that will be used for backup/image storage. I entered
 

mkdir media

mkdir media/images

mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 media/images

media/images does not exist

 

the hell it doesn't I just made it! for reference here is the out put of lsblk

lsblk

And the output of fdisk -l

what am I missing? this has to be some thing easy that I am just blanking out on right?

 

i deleted the dirs and started over, remade the dirs, and tried to mount again

mount dev/sdc1 media/images
mount: /root/media/images: special device dev/sdc1 does not exist.

this is what I get now.

(I didn't read most of op)

remember, dev and media is in / so, 

 

mount /dev/sdc1 /media/images

Double check your commands

mount dev/sdc1 media/images

you forgot the first / in /dev/sdc1 so it's looking for it in your working directory.

mount /dev/sdc1 media/images

should work but you should get in the habit of typing out full paths for things like this or, at least, use tab autocompletion to check if the paths you're typing actually exist.
