I think the issue is that for it to expose the block device to the USB host, it must first unmount it from the device (otherwise hilarity ensues as the two OS kernels stomp on one another writing to it). If an application on the phone has a file on that block device open, it can't unmount it. Rather than battle that, they've gone the "file sharing" route, using Media Transfer Protocol. Kinda sucky compared to NFS or CIFS (or better yet, rsync/ssh, scp or sftp), but it's what we have to work with. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

Re: how to mount phone?
Hello, If you have an Android phone, you could install the app "termux" Within the app you could "pkg add rsync" and then you could share all the stuff you want in a wireless, and fancy, way. I think there is a similar termux app in iphone too.

The easiest way I know is to install in the phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.galexander.sshd and use the WLAN hotspot to transfer files with scp / sftp / rsync. Rod.

Well, damn, I'm sorry, I guess I got myself confused.

Mine too; but "File transfer" does not work for me, either. I get a ugen(4) instead of umass(4), on -current.
