It is a problem we'll have to face soon however - even if the current Galaxy Tab can be switch to mass storage... The Galaxy Nexus (and thus reference for the next generation of android phones/tablets) does not have a USB mass storage mode since it does not have an SD card to unmount to present to the system. Rather MTP is being used so that both the phone and the connected system can have simultaneous access to the internal filesystem. Right now we cannot say if future Samsung/Motorola/HTC/etc phones based on ICS and the GN reference will follow a similar pattern or not.... The FUSE based mtpfs can be found here but with the caveat that it doesn't appear to have progress very far... and was just the first google result for it - not sure if there is a competing effort: http://code.google.com/p/mtpfs/ Relevant stuff about this situation can be found here: http://www.pcsmax.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-no-data-transfer-to-mac-and-linux-112776.html James -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
