Hello

Today i set up an Raspberry Pi 3 with Libreelec .

But i dont get it . The USB Drive has a extra power supply.

The Device shows up correctly under /dev

When i try to mount it with mount /dev/sda1 /var/media/USB it shows me invalid argument.

The Device don´t show up under /media

What can i do ?

Power up the RPi with the USB drive connected, and do the following commands via a SSH session:

Code

blkid | paste
mount | paste
dmesg | paste

And copy/paste each of the URLs here so we can have a look.

Did you format the device before connecting it to your Pi? If there is no file system, Linux can't mount it.
