Problem with mounting camera (Pentax K-x) (solved)

Hello everyone!

I tested several solutions to mount my camera.

mkdir /media/pentax

mount -t fat32 /dev/sdc /media/pentax

Say that it is an unknown type of file system, and that maybe I wanted to say "vfat"

Actually gparted says it is a fat32 file system

mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/pentax

say that it is a false file system

I wonder if some programs can't do this job, or it is exist some automount solutions.
I precise that I don't use gnome. If it doesn't exist "auto" solutions it's not so annoying...

Make sure your camera is in MSC mode, I know my Pentax K100D wasn't on MSC by default.

Also, so you don't waste your batteries, you might want to get a card reader anyway, file transfers can eat those AAs.

There are tons of options for automounting if you don't want to use a full environment, there are things like suckless.org's tool skvm, which I use on my netbooks running Awesome.

Finally I've found a very good another suckless volume manager: pysdm.

I don't know if it's the better solution, but it works fine.

I tested the softwares you adviced... it didn't work (maybe because I'm sometimes lazy, too)

pysdm works fine. It modifies the fstab, and we must be root user to use this program, it adds folder in /media...
It's almost automatic.

Thank you very much!

Thank you again!

Finally I "discovered" that we must run skvm with putting it in the daemon list of the rc.conf!
Now it functions perfectly!
