USB pendrive localtion
Most USB pendrives are located at device name "?sda" after they are plugged into the USB port.
However, you can verify this location by typing this command inside a terminal window:
- dmesg | grep scsi -A 3
and it should tell you the device name for your USB (SCSI emulated) devices and vendor name.
See : ["dmesg"].
