What is the pathname of the volume , starting with /dev ?
If you have that pasthanme, then
you should be able to run
mount -t <fstype> <absolute-volume-pathname> <absolute-mount-point-pathname>

You will have to be root to do so.

Also, check and see if your DT already mounted it in 
/run/<username>/....etc/...
