Re: SATA disk mounting point ?

Ib,

Look in /sys/block. You might see a folder like sda, sdb, etc... Inside 
that folder, there might be another folder sda1, sda2, sda3.  If so, you 
can get more info on your device with "udevinfo -a -p 
/sys/block/sda/sda1" (change sda/sda1 to whatever you have).
