There should be a sequence like the below when you plug in a USB drive: usb-storage: device found at 5 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access WD My Book 1110 1030 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0 scsi 9:0:0:1: CD-ROM WD Virtual CD 1110 1030 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] 1952151552 512-byte hardware sectors: (999 GB/930 GiB) sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Write Protect is off sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Mode Sense: 23 00 10 00 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Assuming drive cache: write through sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 51x/51x caddy sr 9:0:0:1: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 sr 9:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 5 scsi 9:0:0:2: Enclosure WD SES Device 1030 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 scsi 9:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg9 type 13 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Assuming drive cache: write through sdf: sdf1 usb-storage: device scan complete sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI disk And thus the drive is /dev/sdf, with the data partition /dev/sdf1. You may need to scroll back a bit if a lot of stuff is going on in dmesg.
