How to list USB Drive Assignment

writedom · 05-26-2008, 09:29 AM

If I use GParted I can see all attached USB drives even if they are not formatted. GParted provides the size of the drive and the location (/dev/sdb).

Is there another way, just using the command line, that will show me this information?

Try

Code:

df -h

it will list your attached usb devices.

The unformatted drive does not show up.
