You should be able to mount it without any problems. I have ICS on my Nexus S and the only requirement to mounting the phone as a USB device is to toggle the USB Mass Storage option (it should show up in the notification bar). On my phone, the usb storage uses ext4 (IIRC), so drivers for this aren't an problem. Once the setting is toggled, it's automatically assigned a device mapping and it's usable as a normal USB drive from there. That does not work on the S3 because i believe it is basically one partition unlike the Nexus S which has a separate partition for internal storage. I have used mtpfs in Android 3.0 on my gentoo system and found it slow and unreliable. A lot might of changed in the last 6 months with mtpfs though so try it and see how it works. You could use a program for android called adb but its slow at pushing files so if they are gonna be videos i would stay away. And the way i do it on my Galaxy nexus is use dropbox. Move to dropbox folder than download form the dropbox app on the phone. Not the best but its easiest for me.

Of the current main four FS's on modern linux, here's a general overview of them: ext3: Older, reliable, stable. You get very good tools support for ext3 (including online resize) and low cpu-usage for the most part but it's slower and less space efficient than more recent fs's. jfs: Better performance than ext3, deals with larger files reasonably well with low cpu usage. Not very commonly used to my knowledge. reiserfs (reiser3): very fast for most operations (the exception being directory creation iirc), especially efficient for dealing with many small files. It has noticeably higher cpu-usage than ext3/jfs. I believe there are also some potential performance bottlenecks on SMP systems as it makes liberal use of the Big Kernel Lock. xfs: high performance, especially when dealing with many large or small files; Gets along very well with raid arrays. Noticeably higher cpu usage than ext3/jfs. IIRC, it aggressively caches its writes so there is a slight possibility of data loss if your power goes out suddenly in the middle of a series of writes (I consider this a very small possibility, it is journalled like the other fs's on this list so the filesystem will still come up in a consistent state, you just may be missing some of the data you were writing).

Aaron Sure, you could do that, but then you have less flexibility later. I love being able to add network interfaces and such to my router. I dont' have to mess with flashing or such, and I can run gentoo on it and upgrade til my little heart's content. Oh, I totally agree on the flexibility (although those little things are pretty darn flexible all things considered). The biggest win for me was the incredible simplicity with setting them up. It's pretty much the same as the stock firmware but with a ton more options and capabilities. The chip's a 200Mhz MIPS processor running it, so I suppose in theory you could cross compile something Gentoo for it if you wanted. Most people go for this option, but there's definitely something good to be said about the flexibility (and power!) of using a home-built router from a second hand desktop. My biggest stumbling block for this idea was that even though I have a decent understanding of all the software pieces that would go into it, I don't have any experience setting it all up, let alone securing it, so there'd be a very steep learning curve for me. I've got my second GL set up as a Wireless repeater which is pretty complex behaviour for the few screen options I had to set up. It's basically a power vs simplicity tradeoff, but if you're just getting into setting up wireless I'm guessing simplicity is the way to go ;).

Re: [gentoo-user] building a box for Gentoo (update)
On 20-Aug-07, at 3:06 PM, Philip Webb wrote: (1bd) The mobo listed is described on the ASUS site under 'VGA' as Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 integrated High-definition video processing with maximum resolution 2048 x 1536 bpp @ 75 Hz ; maximum shared memory 256 MB ; supports OpenGL 1.5, Pixel Shader 2.0 . It appears that with this mobo I don't need a separate graphics card unless I want very high-performance gaming or similar; also, it uses open-source drivers (can anyone confirm?). I've only had experience with the Intel GMA 950 (listed as Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller in the lspci output). However, it's worked fantastic for me so far with the opensource driver (on a Fedora 7 box). In my xorg.conf, the driver is intel instead of i810; iirc the intel driver is the newer driver and has better support for the newer chipsets. OTOH, I do have a couple of words of caution about the Motherboard. The new Intel chipsets do not provide an IDE controller so motherboard manufacturers have to go get a third party IDE/PATA controller if they want that support on their Intel motherboards. Most of the manufacturers seem to have gone with JMicron's controller, but my experience with it so far has been rather frustrating. Supposedly its drivers have been in the mainline kernel since 2.6.18 but It's been pretty flaky for me when I had to deal with it (I felt horribly sorry for suggesting the Asus P5B Deluxe to my dad after all the problems we had with the IDE :( ). Hopefully someone else will have had better experiences with this and can chime in. The other item that concerns me is the Marvell Gigabit Ethernet controller. Your motherboard apparently has a Marvell88E8056® PCI-E Gigabit LAN controller, my experience is with a Marvell 88E8053 PCI- E Gigabit Ethernet Controller but they'll both be using the sky2 driver likely. Once again, it's been mostly functional but not perfect and sometimes a little flaky. My file server was using this and I ended up switching over to the other onboard NIC (forcedeth driver) after discovering that it was flaking out something in the network stack on big long transfers (think multi-gig transfers). You should be able to deal with both chipsets, but just be prepared for a little bit of extra effort to get them working perfectly. (1c) I'm usually using 300 - 400 / 1000 MB memory at present, so this sb enough, while giving me higher speed + certified dual- channel. Especially for compiling, memory tends to be one of the best things you can add for improving performance on a general purpose machine and extend the life of an existing machine. 1GB seems a little low to me longterm. That said, I never swap with my 2GB of memory on my box, so it's entirely possible you'll be fine. I guess it really depends on your budget. You should be just fine with the 1GB, but I would look to double that up if I felt I could afford it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Getting a core dump with apache2/mod_perl

How can I do that? Should I re-emerge apache2 and apr with +debug? Unfortunately just having USE=debug isn't all that you need. I use a bash alias like so: alias debug=USE=debug FEATURES=nostrip CFLAGS=-ggdb3 CXXFLAGS=-ggdb3 then you can just run 'debug emerge blah'. You'll probably want to rebuilt apache2,apr,apr-util,mod_perl and possibly more depending on what exactly you're looking for. Finally, to get it to dump core, you'll probably have to add 'ulimit -c unlimited' to your apache2 init script.

Change grep to egrep in line 157 so it looks like this:
parent=$(egrep -v '(^#|^ *$)' ${curdir}/parent)
This should be fixed in the latest gentoolkit.
