USB Flash Drive on Dave's IA-64 SuSE SLES Linux
1/26/2017
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
ls -al /media/sdb1 It's ready to use.
Your setup will probably be different
For IBM Emerald's running SuSE, it will probably be:
mount /dev/sdaa1 /media/sdaa1
ls -al /media/sdaa1

NOTE that contrary to the instructions (above), you will
NOT know what drive "name" Linux will provide - it will
change depending on what hardware is installed.
How to determine the USB device name
After booting up:
1) run tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages
2) Plug in your USB Flash disk
3) Look for messages similar to:
Aug 26 17:06:09 localhost kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-1, assigned address 4
Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product d7d/100/100
Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup nomadjukebox for USB product d7d/100/100
Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Module setup nomadjukebox for USB product d7d/100/100
Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 121856 512-byte hdwr sectors (62 MB) Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Aug 26 17:06:13 localhost kernel: sda: sda1 Aug 26 17:06:13
localhost devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted
4) In this example, the bolded sda1 is the USB flash memory stick
In my lab systems, Linux is using sdb1 on my xSeries 342 w/RHEL 3.0
Linux is using sdb1 on my xSeries 330 w/RHEL 2.1
