If using your file manager in the AppVM does not display the new device you can always use qvm-block in dom0 to tell you where the device is currently assigned, and under what name. Once you have attached the device to your AppVM you can run qvm-block in dom0 with no arguments and it will display the device name in the results. You will see it as "frontend-dev=" on that line on the right. Probably "xvdi" or something close to that. Then you can then use the mount command in the AppVM to mount the device (e.g. "/dev/xvdi" ) wherever you like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The mobile phone is listed as two devices: 1) sys-usb: sda - Disk () 2) sys-usb: 1-3 - ..._Mass_Storage_Device_... I have tried to attach both - one at a time - in the following way. I attached it by clicking on the device icon -> The device (mobile phone storage) -> The VM that I would like it to be attached to. When attached, they both appear as such according to qvm-block and qvm-usb in dom0. When I attached the second one, and execute lsusb in the VM terminal where it is attached to, it show up. I don’t know how to check the attachment of the first device in the VM terminal. In the file manager of the attached VM under /proc/partitions, I find a file that only displays partitions with xvd... I don’t know if the attached partitions is some of these. No, I haven’t been able to locate the directory of the mobile phone in the file manager of the sys-usb VM either. Any ideas on how to proceed... ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Where to find the directory of a attached mobile phone ?
I have attached my mobile phone to a VM, but can’t find its directory in the file manager of that VM.
