That’s easy. Here is before and after plugging in USB flash stick:
debian@beaglebone:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
debian@beaglebone:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Drive
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
debian@beaglebone:~$
So it does detect the USB device.
However, I didn’t find the drive mounted in the usual places like /mnt or /media.
So that has to be done manually with the mount command? Or maybe I wasn’t looking in the correct folder.
Here is snippet of dmesg:

Looks good to me, but this is the first time I ever plugged a USB disk into a Beaglebone!
