One method is to look at /proc/paritions. The right way is to configure your /etc/updfstab.con.default file to help usb.agent recognize your device when it's plugged in and then it will automatically set up in fstab and a mount point created for it. For example, my Lexar flash card reader was working and detected by linux, but the fstab never was updated. So I looked in the logs and determined that the word "Lexar" seemed to identify it, so I added an entry for it under the "device flash" section of the updfstab.conf.defaults file. Now when I plug it in, I get /mnt/flash (or /mnt/flash1 if my other flash reader is plugged int). Sometimes you have to run /usr/sbin/updfstab manually. But this seems to be the best way.
