How do I figure out which /dev is a USB flash drive?
Problem
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 location is the right one. Is there a way to look through or or somewhere else to find out which device node is a USB drive. (I'm using ArchLinux if that helps any... is the first hard drive, is a dvd drive, etc.) edit: The USB drive is connected to a USB hub. I looked through 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.
