Tell me the exact format of usb flash drive?
I want to mount two usb drives and i need two different mount points Unfortunately, the Linux kernel underwent a name change and I can't figure out which /dev
location is the right one. Is there a way to look through dmesg
or /proc
or somewhere else to find out which device node is a USB drive.
(I'm using ArchLinux if that helps any... /dev/sda
is the first hard drive, /dev/sr0
is a dvd drive, etc.)
edit: The USB drive is connected to a USB hub. I looked through dmesg
and it says the hub was connected and it scanned for the 3 devices connected to it. Still can't see where my USB drive is though.

Easiest way: Look at the output of dmesg
after connecting the USB device. It should show you what /dev
node was assigned to it.
