I want to mount a USB drive, two of them 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.
1Can't see it? Maybe wait for a bit. Or try another USB port. See what differences there is in 'lsusb' – Nick Devereaux – 2009-03-10T23:02:16.497
Might want to rephrase the question somewhat - not all usb devices are disks, after all. – Arafangion – 2009-03-10T23:23:34.697
3The
df
command shows you where it was mounted – Will Sheppard – 2013-08-28T14:09:21.850
