### Where are my external storage devices mounted?
### How do I access my external drive?
At least on Fedora-based VMs (and likely others), they can be found mounted under `/run/media/user/`.
External media such as external hard drives or flash drives plugged in via USB are available in the sys-usb VM.
They can either be manually mounted with the `mount` command, or accessed conveniently via the graphical file manager which mounts them under `/run/media/user`.
Devices which are passed from one VM to another via `qvm-block` show up as `/dev/xvd*` and must be mounted manually.
See ["How to attach USB drives"](/doc/usb/#how-to-attach-usb-drives) for more information.
