Here is the output from Syslog:

```

But after this completes, the drive is not mounted on /Storage is not mounted and /dev/sdg doesn't appear under df

Thanks for any insight.

@Brendon Does your device show up with `sudo fdisk -l`?

On my setup, I tested with a random SanDisk drive:

The last device in the list is

```
Device     Boot Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdg1        2048 60088319 60086272 28.7G 83 Linux
```

I can then create a dir to mount to, i.e.:
```
sudo mkdir /media/USB-Drive
```

and mount the drive:

```
sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/USB-Drive/
```

and then see the file on my drive:
```
voxl2:~$ ls /media/USB-Drive/
hello
```
