When I use one USB port only, I mount it as /dev/sdb1. But for simultaneously using two or even three ports, which are the /dev name(s) I have to use? Instead of looking for hardcoded names, look under /dev/disk/by-id so you can see your disks by id. Or if they have labels /dev/disk/by-label etc.
I plugged in two usb sticks and invoked 'ls /dev/disk/by-id'. A list appeared referring to the first stick as
usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0 usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0-part1
and to the second stick as
usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0 usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0-part1
But that does not give me access to the sticks since these names are completely useless because they are no directory names. In other words, neither /dev/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0 nor /dev/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0-part1 nor /dev/usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0 nor /dev/sb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0-part1 nor /dev/disk/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0 nor /dev/disk/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Disk_00000000000064-0:0-part1 nor /dev/disk/usb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0 nor /dev/disk/sb-058f_Spaceloop_8GB_E7B24B26-0:0-part1 exists.
Anyway thank you, even though your information did not help.
