It displays a lot of info, what we are interested in is the end which should say something about your drive.<\/p>\n This tells us that the device is mmcblk0. The “p2” at the end is the partition number.<\/p>\n Another way to do it is to run the df command. it’ll return something like this<\/p>\n The above command returns all the partitions that are mounted on your computer. You can see that the bottom one “\/dev\/mmcblk0p2 ” is the partition of the drive you just plugged in.<\/p>\n You can also use fdisk.<\/p>\n It will return something similar to the following.<\/p>\n The bottom section is the drive “mmcblk0”.<\/p>\n\n\n lsblk is another cool tool to list drives and partions. When run with the -p option it shows the path to the drive and partition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example output of what you may get with “lsblk -p”<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few different ways to find out a drives(sdcard, usb drive, external hard drive) name. dmesg command One way to do it is to look at dmesg.
