Another way to find out the USB device node name on your system is issuing the command
sudo fdisk -l
and looking in the output for the disk that corresponds to the USB key, e.g. a disk described with a stanza like
Disk /dev/sd'''?''': 1939 MB, 1939865600 bytes
150 heads, 42 sectors/track, 601 cylinders, total 3788800 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000e14bf
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sd'''?'''1 * 2048 3784703 1891328 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
where '''?''' in /dev/sd'''?''' is (usually) a letter of the alphabet.
If you have only '''one''' storage device with 2 Gb of nominal capacity, it will be easy to recognize the USB key in the fdisk output by looking at which device has (about) 2 Gb of capacity. In the example above, "Disk /dev/sd'''?'''" reports to be as large as ''1939 MB'', that is, almost 2 Gb.
Indeed, if you have '''more than one''' disks with about 2 Gb of capacity, consider moving to a situation where you'll have only '''one''' device with 2 Gb of capacity, because this will help out a lot in recognizing the drive correctly.
