where tf do thumb drives show up in linux?

@Mainebot They will show up in /dev as block devices (so as root you run mount /dev/partition /mountpoint) you can use blkid to read disk labels and find the appropriate block device, some distros run a deamon that will automount them in /media for you

@swiley @Mainebot also try /run/media, /run/${user}/, /run/${user}/media and variations thereof. It's freaking annoying that it's not consistent from kennel to kennel and distro to distro.

@MightyBigCar @Mainebot If there are that many options just run mount with no arguments to see where things are mounted.
