hello - anybody know how to find the path to a usb memory stick in terminal?

tried to transfer some files from a memory stick I use for Feisty Fawn to Hardy Heron and lost ownership of the memory stick.

Now I get read-only permission irregardless of which system I plug the memory into.

I've encountered this problem before, but I can't remember how to solve it.

Any suggestions?

You can find you usb stick usually mounted on /media/<usb-stick-name>

Type mount in command line to find where your memory stick is mounted.

To change the permission of the mount point, we need to know what filesystem your memory stick is formatted with.
