Mount usb if hard drive is mounted in sda


Hi,

I'm running Red hat Enterprise WS v.4 and I'm trying to mount a usb device on the machine. Normally I just do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk. However, on this machine the hard drive is mounted on /dev/sda. For example the results of df -h include:

/dev/sda1 99M 27M 68M 29% /boot

So I was wondering where else the usb device might be. I've tried /dev/hda /dev/hdb and /dev/sdb, but those were really just shots in the dark. Does anyone know if there's a way to find out where the usb device is? Thanks very much.

More than likely it will be /dev/sdb*. You can check this by using the command ' /sbin/fdisk -l ' Note: It requires root access to run.
