Mounting the MO Drive

  1. Log onto Pyramid and provide your user name and password.
  2. In the shell that appears, check if the drive is already mounted by typing "df -lk" and look at the bottom line to check if the drive is present, meaning mounted.
  3. To mount the MO drive, type "mo_mount" at the prompt, and repeat step 2 to make sure the drive is mounted.
  4. NEVER eject a disk from the MO drive without unmounting the drive first. To unmount the drive, type "mo_umount" and repeat step 2 to make sure the drive is unmounted.

Erasing an MO Disk

    The computer will prompt you if you want to create a new file system.

  4. Type "y", and return and the drive will start to erase the disk.
