<p dir="ltr">I don't understand. You mounted your flash drive to a folder on your OS and wrote to it. That's how it works.</p>

While i'm out tonight wearing my ignorance on my shoulder, i was wondering if someone could provide an explanation of how the below works.<br>
<br>
On a VMware server running Centos, i needed to copy some sql data onto a flashdrive. Once the USB host and device are attached to the VM,<br>
in order to be able to write to the flashdrive i:<br>
<br>
fdisk -l and got the "sdc3" that i needed<br>
<br>
But i just don't understand enough about the OS to know how the below mounting works. Why writing to the "usbflash" magically shows up on the flashdrive is a mystery to my brain.<br>
<br>
mkdir /mnt/usbflash<br>
cp tmp/asdf.sql to the usbflash directory i just created<br>
mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt/usbflash<br>
<br>
P.S. Above is from memory of earlier in the day so hopefully is accurate<br>
