Quote:As you can see I ran the code , I then inserted a USB stick and used up arrow on keyboard to reuse the same code and run it again, thus allowing for a comparison of before and after adding the USB stick.It produced 2 new results the /dev/sdb and the /dev/sdb1 rather than the 1 new result I was expecting, why is this ?
My understanding on why the 2 new devices might be rudimentary but it is how I keep things straight.
In the /dev folder it shows the devices as well as the partitions (partitions being treated as a devices also). So you see the /dev/sda (device) and the /dev/sda1 (partition) as well as the new devices like the new usb device which is /dev/sdb (device) and the partition /dev/sdb1 (partition)
