I only recently have done similar.
cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Cypress Semiconductor
Product: USB2.0 Storage Device
Serial Number: 000000030515
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 04b468300000000000030515
Attached: Yes
Have a look at fdisk -l it should list all partitions known. It may
not necessarily show up as sda, since you have a scsi CD writer allready.
Once you know the sdx (I'd guess it will be /dev/sdb1 or something)
you could add to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/my_usb_hd auto noauto,owner,rw 0 0
Make a directory /mnt/my_usb_hd of course..
Then mount with 'mount /mnt/my_usb_hd' .
That's how I did it. I also played around with
/etc/security/console.perms and setup so that an ordinary user could
mount my disk.
Cheers,
Michael
