This may be a silly question, but it bugs me for quite a while.

When I plug in a USB jumpdrive to the Linux system, I usually go to the system log file /var/log/messages to check which device file is attached and I use that to mount the device. Is there any better way to figure out which device file I should use to mount the jumpdrive? I am also interested in the correlation between the device file /dev/sdXX and USB device file system /proc/bus/usb/001/yyy, is there any way I can know they are the pair for a physical USB storage device?
