I can see the device in my /proc/bus/usb/devices file, but fdisk -l
doesn't show it at all.  I was trying to mount and partition it using
Webmin, but I can't figure out the device name I need to give it to
mount and partition it.  How is the best way to figure that out?  This
particular server is running CentOS 4.

Unplug the drive.
from root:   tail -f /var/log/messages

Now plug in the drive and watch the messages scroll by.  That'll tell
you very easily what the drive assignment is.


Thanks for this suggestion, Barry. I'll try it tomorrow when I get back to the office.
