Solution: Use vacuumcleaner to clear USB-port ;) I've tried several ports, the same cable works fine with several other different usb devices, so it's most likely related to exFAT... Any other ideas? anyone? James

I am able to use Dragon player to watch the individual files, such as 1.MTS via Dragon player and the camcorder being mounted (96 G of flash). Ok so I was then initially able to use cp to copy the files off onto the gentoo hard drive. After I did a few this way, the mount point now drops almost immediately. I can re-discover the sony camcorder and automount via the file-manager. I can see the files and play them one at a time via Dragon Player. But, when I go to copy them with: cp *.MTS /usr/local/video/jeff/basketball/TR or cp 0.MTS /usr/local/video/jeff/basketball/TR I get Erno 5 as the mount is lost evey time now. The mount drops. I never had this problem before, but it is a different camera. What really has me stumped is it worked for a while for a few files, now it drops the mount every time. I even power cycled the camcorder, to no avail. Any ideas? This sounds like a problem I had with a USB harddrive. Cause: Bad connection in USB-port (dust?)

Update: ok this camcorder uses exFAT file system. Could that be the problem? Workaround for copying the files off of the camcorder flash onto my Gentoo harddrive (reiserfs currently)? James
