i had the same problem, i don't know of any command, but this is what i did. fist disconnect your USB, then send the command to list all my devices: COMMAND: ls /dev/ you will get a list of all the devices. so copy and paste the results into a text editor like notepad Now connect your USB, wait like 30 seconds to make sure the system registers it in the /dev direcory and then send tha command again: COMMAND: ls /dev/ now compare the before list and after list, which ever device was not on the first list you know that's how your system is calling it? i don't know what else to tell you, but this is what i did and that's how i was able to find out. go to this post to see how i did it: http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/linux-mount-usb-pen-drive-in-linux-server-machine-shell-command-t714.html

hda1 hdb1 sda1 sda5 sdb1 sdb5 sdc1 sdc5 sdd1 sdd5 sde1 sde5 are used already. i tried sdf1, and sdg1 sdh1 -- it tells me it's finished but i don't know what it did. i've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the usbs... is there any way to tell the machine to tell me what/where the usb(s) might be? i.e. a command for the list of all hdd's... back to the man pages... a usb is more difficult than i thought.

ok,i followed your steps, but on my machine it was sdb and sbd1. so if you are trying and sda1 doesn't work, try sdb1
