I can not convince the camera to mount however. All I get from dmesg is: usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 5 usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 I tried your suggestions in my fstab and all I get is: mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist or mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist depending on which /dev/sda* I use in fstab. I thought this would work, in theory. Practise has proven me wrong.
