Mounting or unmounting a storage medium

Generally, a hot-swappable storage medium is automatically mounted when it is connected to the device.
If the system cannot recognize the storage medium, however, you must mount the storage medium before
you can access it.
To remove a hot-swappable storage medium from the device, you must first unmount it to disconnect it
from the device. Otherwise, files on the storage medium or even the storage medium itself might be
damaged.
Restrictions and guidelines
To mount/unmount a partitioned storage medium, you must mount/unmount all the partitions
individually, instead of mounting/unmounting the medium as a whole. To unmount a USB disk, make
sure the system has recognized the USB disk and the USB disk LED is not blinking. Otherwise, the USB
interface or USB disk might be damaged.
Before unmounting a storage medium, make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise,
the unmount operation fails.
