SATA Cubieboard

Mount SATA drive in Cubieboard with Lubuntu

Posts

The main advantage of cubieboard is it’s SATA connector. I have old HDD from notebook, so I wanted to use it as a media server.

This post has 3 parts related to HDD connected to Cubieboard2 with lubuntu:

  • Mounting HDD
  • Backup NAND
  • Spin down HDD


There are many ways to see all disks and partitions but my favorite command is lsblk:

sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL
NAME        FSTYPE   SIZE MOUNTPOINT LABEL
sda                149.1G
nand                 3.7G
|-nanda     vfat      64M            Volumn
`-nandb     ext4     3.6G /
mmcblk0              241M
`-mmcblk0p1 vfat     241M            SSD

or also fdisk:
