Where can I find /dev/sda?

Pierre · August 2023

I have entered a SD card in the SD card slot for additionnal storage.

Where can I find this SD card? If I try to mount it in a terminal it says that it is already mounted but I don'f find where?

I think it should be /dev/sdb since external devices on linux for me are always mounted like it , don't know about your setup but I think utilities like gparted will do the trick for you.

The microSD slot on the Pi is assign as mmcblk0. To locate the mount point on your system, open a terminal and use the command lsblk to display its mount point.

Below is an example on my system:

pi@rpi:~ $ lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda           8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1        8:1    0   256M  0 part /boot
└─sda2        8:2    0 465.5G  0 part /
mmcblk0     179:0    0  29.7G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0   256M  0 part /media/pi/boot
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2    0  29.5G  0 part /media/pi/rootfs
