Mount External USB Drive (ext4)

1

Hi,
I am running HomeAssistant 0.107, and trying to connect a USB drive to my Raspberry Pi 4. I get an error message, and the drive does not appear:

Can someone please help? I’m hoping home assistant has support for adding a USB drive using the stock hassio install.

Did you ever come up with a solution for this? I’m also trying to mount a USB drive for backup and getting similar errors.

Same problem here, v246, Pi4 (4GB)

mnt $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-stick/
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb-stick/ failed: No such file or directory

I think, it is a limitation of the installed OS :thinking:

mnt $ dmesg | grep sd
