How to mount a USB flash drive in GNU/Linux

Ubuntu "Hardy" detects Sony Ericsson Mobile but not auto mounts it's 1 GB card, might be the only case with my Linux Box. Because previously it use to auto mount.

Following command list USB devices that are detected by system.

# lsusb ( list USB devices )
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0457:0151
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8086:1120 Sony Ericsson ...........blah blah
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000



# fdisk -l

which ( FDISK ) will list all the devices including the USB devices detected by GNU/Linux. Then you can use the mount command to mount it at a specific location.
