Not to sure if this helps.  if you run lsblk it will list devices
connected to the system,  just plugged in a usb flash disk and it showed
up as

sdg      8:96   1   3.8G  0 disk
├─sdg1   8:97   1   640M  0 part /media/psutton/Rescatux0.51b3
└─sdg2   8:98   1   704K  0 part

from the man page (man lsblk)

NAME
       lsblk - list block devices

Worth a try

if you run

lsblk | tee lsblkoutput.txt

Output will be directed to the console AND the file lsblkoutput.txt.

  

Hope this helps

Paul
