I'd guessit should work the same way as under any other circumstances - the drive should be accessible as a pseudo-SCSI device (/dev/sdf or some such) and then you just mount whatever partition you want to use and off you go.

Yes, this normally the case.
I do: 1) plug in the drive 2) dmesg and look for the dev/sd* entry

- plug your USB drive - check the server logs (/var/log/messages) to see the device name (/dev/sdXY) assigned to the detected USB drive - Use/create a mount point: /mnt/ZZZ by example - mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/ZZZ
