When pluging the pendrive, a message shows:



[ 67.317741] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found
[ 67.317741] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through


I don't mind having that message, because that's just the way the media is formatted, and I find it good that the system is reminding this to me, but why after the message shows the CLI stays inside a process there? Should I just press ctrl + c to terminate the process?



How to access the media and copy files from and towards it?



Finally how to remove the media safely?

          The CLI does not stay 'inside a process'. That kernel messages was displayed on your terminal independent of the shell. You are in effect still at the previous shell prompt; just hit Enter if you want to move to the next line.




          To access data on the drive, you will probably want to mount the drive, for example



          mount /dev/sdb /mnt


          to view the drive under /mnt. When done using the drive, you would ensure no processes were accessing the drive, and then



          umount /dev/sdb


          These commands will probably need to be run with superuser privilege (sudo). You may also need to specify other options; check the man page.

            After unmounting, you might also want to do a echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete for a maximally safe removal. That command effectively tells the kernel "prepare for hot-unplugging of block device sdb."
