When inserting a USB pen drive, I get the following message
[20236.720694] usb-storage 1-1.2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[20236.721212] scsi host6: usb-storage 1-1.2:1.0
I think usb-storage is the name of the kernel module. 1-1.2 means USB bus 1, with location 1.2 in the hirarchy (the root hub has on port 1 a hub, and on this hub the device is on port 2).
But what does the ":1.0" suffix mean?
Entire dmesg output:
$ sudo dmesg -c
