I'm runing late 2.4.x series kernels so your mileage may vary, but for me
USB mass storage devices come up as SCSI devices. for most of them it's
simply been a matter of:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
though I have one drive which I have to mount from say /dev/sda instead of
/dev/sda1.
As to which SCSI drive it comes up as? Well I think you can see this
either on the console or in syslog. But it's been my experience that, at
least until you reboot, the first device you plug in will be SDA, the
second SDB, etc. And it will remember these. So if you plug the first one
back in again, it wil come up as SDA again. But all this gets forgotten
when you reboot, which is perhaps a good argument for hotplugging on its
own (and I should really learn how to set it up one day).
I've not seen any USB devices which aren't VFAT. Of course, you can put
what you like on it but don't expect it to work everywhere.
