linux - How to find the /dev name of my USB device

I am running a Ubuntu 11 guest on a Windows XP host with VMware. I want to format an SD card in Ubuntu, but I can't figure out which /dev/xxx device the SD card is.


I plug the card into the built-in socket of my laptop. I "safely remove" the device in Windows. Then, I "connect" the PCMCIA reader in VMware. Now, I was supposed to see a new device like /dev/sdx, but it doesn't appear.


How can I find what the name of my USB device's name and mount it?


/var/log/message is empty.


Here is the output of dmesg:



[ 5268.927308] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd



And, here are the last lines of /var/log/syslog:



Oct 31 18:51:21 ubuntu kernel: [ 5268.927308] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd


Oct 31 18:51:21 ubuntu mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 12: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:02:00.0/usb2/2-1"


Oct 31 18:51:21 ubuntu mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 12 was not an MTP device
