Otherwise, when you insert it, you'll see something in the syslog like this: scsi6 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 6 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: SanDisk Model: Cruzer Mini Rev: 0.2 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sdb: 2001888 512-byte hdwr sectors (1025 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdb: 2001888 512-byte hdwr sectors (1025 MB) sdb: Write Protect is off sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 In this case, my disk appeared as /dev/sdb, with one partition (/dev/sdb1).
