Sorry,
fdisk does not show the disk (df shows loopx)
Huh? If "df" shows something on a loop device, then it's mounted
somewhere or df wouldn't know how to extract the size data. For example,
with an ISO image mounted via loop to /mnt/Misc using the command
mount -t loop /path/to/iso/image.iso /mnt/Misc
I see:
[root@prophead ~]# df -h
...
/dev/loop0 1.2G 1.2G 0 100% /mnt/Misc
It shows up in fdisk using an "fdisk -l":
[root@prophead ~]# fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/loop0: 1.1 GiB, 1222639616 bytes, 2387968 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

If you mount external media via the GUI or if it's automounted, it
should mount in
/run/media/your-user-name/blah
with "blah" being either the media's filesystem label or some string
that identifies the USB device. If you don't see somewhat similar
things, then check dmesg and your logs for errors and/or hints.
And you know better than to top-post on this list, right? You've been
a member long enough.
