On my Mac (and BSM) I use syslog data to identify USB inserts, which includes 
the USB's manufacturer, model number, and serial number. Then I look at the 
mount command in the BSM data to see where it was mounted in the file system. 
Since I monitor all file reads and writes in BSM, I can also tell what files 
were read from or written to that USB thumb drive.

See if the Linux syslog messages contain the USB insert information.
