Cannot find USB external HDD /dev/sda

0

I am running as usual my orange pi one plus H6 ALL WINNER with ubuntu server and cannot find my exFat HDD on it, it detects the usb but not /dev/sda and cannot mount or access it, yes I tried with ntfs

This is what I see (image below), should be 232 GB HDD connected via USB, sata is not an option

Problem

What should I do?

the file system ExFAT was developed by Microsoft and by law it is forbidden to embed support for ExFAT by default into open source operating systems, which is Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

If there are problems with the installation, then run the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fuse fuse-exfat exfat-utils

Then we insert a USB drive or a memory card and execute the following commands:

sudo mkdir /media/exfat
sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sda1 /media/exfat

But instead of /dev/sda1 you must enter your values. After:

sudo umount /media/exfat
