    I have a usb 2.0 device connected to my system. I can see it listed as a
    device in
    /proc/bus/usb/devices. I can also see it listed in the files /proc/scsi/scsi
    and
    /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0.

    What I can not do is mount this device. It is a compact flash memory with a
    vfat file system on it.
    If I put the compact flash in a different reader (which is USB 1.1), I can
    read it fine, so I know that I have the file system support that I need.
    When I attempt to moun the device, mount complains that the device is not a
    valid block device.

    How do I determine what the name of block device that I should use for this
    device in the mount command?

    I am running RedHat 8.0.
