How to identify port number of USB drive?
 
Hello,

We am having a tough time determining on which hub port number "sda", "sdb", etc are connected. Dmesg could be one manual method but it is not useful to us. We want a script or command based solution for the same.

I find using 'fdisk -l' is good for this.
On your distribution I guess that would be 'sudo fdisk -l'.

Try this:

Code:
# cat /proc/bus/usb/device

On my machine "/proc/bus/usb" doesn't exists. Actually it's an embedded system with Linux OS.

Sorry but fdisk -l gives information of the USB drives attached on the system. It shows /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, etc. It doesn't specify port number of USB hub. I want to know /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 is attached on which port of USB hub.

Does 'lsusb' give the information you want?
