Adam, did you read the thread and my posting? It doesn't seem so.

puma:~ $ lsusb -t

How do I see in that output that the last insert disk has one
partition and that this partition is named sdc1? Come to it, how do
I see which is the last attached one if I would have more than one
USB storage device?

I know my tools, and lsusb ain't one of them if I need to find out
the device name for mounting in a rescue system.

I stay with my advice -- "dmesg | tail" is the easiest way to find
out the device name of a newly plugged in USB storage device in a
rescue system. There is no need to get the previous content of
/proc/partitions and compare it with the version after plugging in;
just calling one command is sufficient.
