You can access information about removable media with or without using removable media services. For information on accessing information on removable media with GNOME's File Manager, see the GNOME desktop documentation.
After being formatted, the USB device is usually mounted under the /media/label directory.
The device nodes are created under the /dev/rdsk directory for character devices and under the /dev/dsk directory for block devices. Device links are created when the devices are hot-plugged. For more information, see the scsa2usb(7D) man page.
For more information about mounting and unmounting USB devices, see How to Mount or Unmount a USB Mass Storage Device.
