friends plz help me

Is there any tool to find out device files for devices so i can avoid trying all the possible device files while mounting.

expecting valuable replay

Every recognized device has an associated file in linux. Since you are talking about mounting, I assume you need to know the device file for some block device you are trying to mount. All partitions, whether mounted or not, that your system recognizes can be listed by running the following in a console:

$ su
<enter root password>
# fdisk -l
