Under Fedora 14 the following procedure worked for discovering the UUID for a USB device. Insert device Look in /dev/disk/by-label for device Use file cmd to find device assigned Look in /dev/disk/by-uuid for the UUID assigned (link to same device) Alas, that no longer works. Anyone have an up-to-date procedure? Thanks.

Hmmm.. good news and bad news I'm fully updated, but clearly I'm missing something. I wonder what it could be.

Works fine for me on a fully updated F15 system... -- Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? -- Clarence Darrow
