How can I know what device the file in /dev is mapped to

Question

I have installed a new device in linux. If I enter lspci, i can see the information of this device. But, I do not know which file in dev is mapped to this device.

Then use lsscsi instead - that should show you all the SCSI devices and what device file corresponds to each one.

The general answer for any device is to run dmesg or check /var/log/kern.log.
