I'm trying to mount a Sony TRV340E video camera via USB. I'm not worried about video (my hardware isn't realy up to anyway) but I would like to be able to get at the stills in the memory chip.So what your trying to do is mount the camera as a mass storage device,
The USB modules seem to be working fine: lsmod gives
usb-uhci 21676 0 (unused)
usbcore 58304 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci]
A directory, /mnt/memory_card, has been created, so it's obviously seeing something there. But there's nothing showing in the directory, and nothing seems to have been mounted. mount -l gives
/dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620)
none on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0)
none on /mnt/floppy type supermount (rw,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0) # I know, it's embarrassing!
So presumably I need to mount something manually, but which device? USB doesn't seem to work the same way as ordinary devices. I've tried googling around this, but the pages that come up just confuse me even more.
Anyone want to help out the eternal newbie?
Sir Robin
with something like this in fstab,
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
mount -a
Mkdir /mnt/camera
then maybe an icon on desktop rightmouseclick down to create new cdrom device,
etc.
the above is not supermount, not sure you can with a camera.
