Yeah, MTP is a pain. I wish there was at least a choice for a standard USB generic mass storage mount option... oh well. The best MTP software I've found is go-mtpfs. Unfortunately I don't think it is packaged, but it is easy to build and put in $HOME/bin/ It uses FUSE like the other options, but is _much_ faster. You can find it here: https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs If you're going to build it yourself, you'll need to install these packages first: % apt-get install golang-go golang-src libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev There seem to be pre-compiled binaries you can download too (YMMV with those). You'll probably need to install the libusb-1.0-0 library anyway. I just mount/unmount manually. One could write a udev/udisks2 rule to automate this I suppose.
