A bit more on my camera, after adding the line
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat noauto,user 0 0
to the /etc/fstab file, I was able to mount the camera by typing mount /mnt/removable
but whenever the machine is rebooted, supermount comes back on again, I have found that whenever the camera is connected the following line is added to the /etc/fstab file.


none /mnt/removable2 supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0

The camera is mounted on /mnt/removable2 and again has the problem of running extremely slowly. Is the fs=ext2:vfat causing the problem?

Seems as though it might have been supermount after all, after mounting it manually by typing mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/removable it works at normal speed now.

I have a Casio Qv-3500 digital camera. Using Mandrake Linux 10.0, I have tried to download photos from it (by copying the files using the command line). It recognises it as a removable drive. It will copy the files, but very very slowly. Anyone had a similar problem?


This sounds familiar. My Fuji Finepix acted the same way recently under 9.2,
not when first installed, but later after other USB mass storage devices had
been mounted and unmounted, pen drives and the like. They also ran slowly and
the desktop suffered from a plethora of problems which appeared to be totally
unrelated. Some odd messages appeared in some of the system logs (don't remember which) indicating that there was trouble with supermount. Ah ha I said,
let's disable that. Disabled supermount and ALL those problems vanished, and I
had bekuen at the point of reinstalling the whole shebang. That may not be your
problem, but it would be worth looking at if you use supermount.


I hope you find a solution.
