Mount Samsung phone <solved>

[InTheWoods]

I am trying to mount a Samsung phone card with little luck. Some Unbuntu users have succeded but as of yet no luck for me. Vl-hot automatically picks up my Sony Ericsson but nothing on the Samsung. Vector does however know it is there.

The successfull users tried

Code:

mount /dev/sda

I get

Code:

mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

If I remove the comment from the below line in /etc/fstab could I mount as sda1

Code:

# example of a VFAT USB pendrive
#/dev/sda1  /mnt/pendrive vfat   fmask=111,dmask=0,noauto,user,quiet,shortname=mixed 0 0

I checked to see if device shows up

Code:

lsusb
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04e8:663e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

double check to see if it is mounted

Code:

mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda3 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0666)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda4 on /mnt/hda4 type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

I am assuming since the phone is connected via USB cable the usbfs is the phone. There are no other USB devices plugged in at the moment.


If I pull up the devices file from /proc/bus/usb I see this

Code:

E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

The file indicated by lsusb above /proc/bus/usb/003/003 is ureadable.
The phone is set for mass storage so I am looking for a block device. If the device is visible with the lsusb command should I not be able to mount it?

Remove the card, open a root terminal, type "tail -f /var/log/messages", insert the card and show us all the message lines you get after inserting the card....

I'm assuming you're plugging it via a USB port.
Either what lagagnon said, or run tail -f /var/log/messages and then plug the usb cord in. Post the output.

Mine mounts my cool android powered G1 ... I use hal though.

This was one of those days when you spend hours trying to find what turns out to be the simpilest of solutions.
You see my Sony Ericsson has to be turned off then plugged into the USB port for things to work properly.
All that was required to make the Samsung work was to turn it on prior to plugging it in to the USB port.
Doh!!!!

Thanks anyways.

Was it turned off, then plugged in, or turned on then plugged in?

Edit:Nm, got it
