I tried cd New Volume and got error as bash: cd: too many arguments . I tried df -hk and found my disk as dev/sdb5 1.9T 1.9T 2.7G 100% /media/alok/New Volume I also tried cd media/alok/New Volumeand got the same error bash: cd: too many arguments kindly provide the command to navigate.

Answer 1

Because the name of the directory you are trying to navigate to has a space in it, you must put quotes around it. If you don't, cd doesn't know if the space is part of the path or a new argument.

this command should work: cd "/media/alok/New Volume".
