Daisy/MP3 player
I am wanting to mount a Daisy/MP3** player as a block device to get access to the files on it. dmesg* lists it, but I am not succeeding in finding its device name. It did once mount itself (or rather, I imagine that HAL mounted it) but I cannot get this behaviour to repeat. *Tux:/home/lisi# dmesg | grep usb [snip] 25822.364046] usb 3-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [25822.497726] usb 3-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [25822.498624] usb 3-6: New USB device found, idVendor=11e2, idProduct=0054 [25822.498630] usb 3-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [25822.498633] usb 3-6: Product: BookSense [25822.498635] usb 3-6: Manufacturer: HIMS [25822.498638] usb 3-6: SerialNumber: 005274 [25822.865831] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [25822.865852] usb-storage: device found at 3 [25822.865855] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [25827.864494] usb-storage: device scan complete [25885.306038] usb 3-6: USB disconnect, address 3 It is there. I must surely be able to mount it??? Lisi **For those who are curious, Daisy is an OS audio file system that can store the whole of most books on one CD.

Thanks, Camaleón! I thought I had HAL, but can't seem to find it. I actually ran your tests before Camaleón's - but hers cracked it. So what was the problem? :) Yep... what was the problem? PEBKAC. I needed the device name and couldn't sort it out. The tail command in dmesg gave me the device name. Unfortunately I still couldn't mount it. I suspect more PEBKAC given the amount of sleep that I have had recently! I have solved the problem for now with a little lateral thinking. I took the memory card out of the device and put it in a card reader. I have now copied two more books (audio files of) for a very long train journey. Life was definitely easier when I could read actual books, but I do now have the advantage of being able to read and watch the scenery go by at the same time. :-) I'll come back to this when I get back next weekend. Having once had it mounted, albeit by accident, I know it can be done. So any further ideas you have will be very gratefully received, but not acted on for 9 days!

Mmm, the SD card should be automatically mounted under /media folder. If it does not, reading dmesg (full dmesg :-P) should help, so when you have the time, copy/paste the relevant log here so we can review it.
