I just bought a USB CF reader on Ebay, plugged it in to the USB port, and 
made several false attempts at mounting it until I discovered that it was 
under /dev/sdc1. Ok, no problem, everything works fine. My question, however, 
is how devices are parceled out in Linux. For example, my USB flash hard 
drive is always under /dev/sda1. Since it wasn't plugged in at the time, I 
had assumed that the CF reader would also be the same. I've tried mounting it 
twice, and both times it always ends up under /dev/sdc1. As I said before, I 
have no problem with that, but I am curious to know _why_ it is so.
