Re: Problem to mount a cellphone device

wild shot:

ls -lct /dev |head

and observe the latest modification time at the top after you've plugged it in.

Re: Problem to mount a cellphone device

As the message says, it's not mountable - at least, not that way. In other words, it's not a USB mass storage device. However, you should be able to mount it with siefs, a fuse-based app for exactly this purpose.

Re: Problem to mount a cellphone device

If you're using either stock kernel26 or kerne26archck, fuse is already there as a module. I think it should also be auto-loaded if you have MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in rc.conf, but if not put it in the MODULES array.

Re: Problem to mount a cellphone device

No, there is no physical device related to fuse, so it cannot be autoloaded. You have to add it to MODULES or load it manually using modprobe.

As for siefs, there is a binary package in my repo (although this does not really matter, it hasn't been updated in ages).

Re: Problem to mount a cellphone device

try <cat /etc/mtab>to list everything hooked up or try tail -s 5 -f /var/log/message.log> to get more info on how to mount it.
