Mounting a USB key drive (any USB drive) from the command line in Linux.

Find the drive (note: that is a lower case L)

$ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
    [  this  ]
Disk /dev/sdc: 4141 MB, 4141875200 bytes
128 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1019 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7936 * 512 = 4063232 bytes

Mount the drive

$ sudo mount /dev/sdc test_mnt -o uid=<user name>
