The usb_storage driver creates SCSI devices. So it will be /dev/sd?
and the partition will probably be /drv/sd?4. The exact letter will
depend on your system. You can check /var/log/messages to see what
drive letter was assigned to the drive. As far as I know, USB
storage devices have always been treated as SCSI devices.
