I have rooted a Samsung Android Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 unit and am attempting
to mount the device as a mass storage entity under SL 6 X86-64. I was
informed by Android specialists that the device needs to be rooted to
display the entire Android file system for reading and writing.
However, the device does not even mount: please see the dmesg output below.
2.6.38.8-32.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 11 16:29:12 PDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have had to use a later release kernel that I have not modified for
some time, and that has proprietary Nvidia CUDA 4 (soon, CUDA 5) driver
support for use with Nvidia Tesla GPU processors. Otherwise, the system
is essentially stock SL 6x, and does properly mount other USB devices,
including MS file system USB sticks, Linux ext 2 external USB hard
drives, and ISO 9660 USB CD/DVD drives (no blu-ray as of yet).
I am using physical USB 2 ports on the Linux machine, not any of the USB
3 ports (that do work and are backwards compatible with USB 2). The USB
interface cable to the Samsung device does work in that that was the
physical connection to root the unit (specifically, using Samsung Odin
under MS Win 7 under VirtualBox under SL 6 IA-32 on a laptop).
Any suggestions or relevant URLs would be most appreciated.
