Step1: Check all mount points in this server

[root@oracledbdr1 ~]# fdisk -l
-bash: fdisk: command not found
[root@oracledbdr1 ~]#

--If the above command not found try the following---

Step2: Check all mount points in this server

[root@oracledbdr1 ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l

Step3: Create a directory to mount the usb

[root@oracledbdr1 ~]# mkdir /mnt/usb


Step4: Mount the usb 

[root@oracledbdr1 ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb 

Step5: Check the usb mounted or not
