I'd be grateful for any advice on where to find the physical device to
use in a mount command.
# lsscsi
...
[9:0:0:0] disk FLASH Drive SM_USB20 1100 /dev/sdg...
# blkid /dev/sdg
# mount -t auto (or the type reported by blkid)
Felix, thank you for the (very) prompt reply. It didn't quite work,
for me.
wheezy2:/home/ron# lsscsi
bash: lsscsi: command not found
wheezy2:/home/ron# lsusb

As you see, lsscsi does not seem to exist on his machine.
It didn't here either. Writing when I did, hours after I should have gone to
bed, I got flustered when lsscsi was not installed and had to install it,
then forgot about even trying lsblk (as Brian answered later), which is
actually the better alternative, and didn't write a logically complete
answer. Output from lsscsi doesn't include partition information, so mounting
based upon its literal output will fail unless the USB device is unpartitioned.
