The pen drive should look like a SCSI hard drive. I use the Nexdisk
version, and after I plug it in, I can mount it with something like:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen
Actualy, I have an entry in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pen vfat noauto,user 0 0
That way, I can mount it as a normal user. Other brands should work the
same way. They use the usb-storage module, and they are accessed like a
SCSI hard drive. Externel USB drives and Firewire drives are accessed
the same way.
