USB / RED HAT / Digital Camera Sony DSC P7
 

All,

I am trying to download pictures from my digital camera (Sony DSCP7) to my personal PC running with RedHat 9.0.Unfortunately, I have some troubles (that force me to keep XP on my workstation, by the way)

When I plug my camera and have a look at /var/log/messages I can see this :

Nov 8 10:41:16 sun kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.2-1, assigned address 4

When I run lsusb, I can see this :

Moreover, it seems the RH creates automatically a directory /camera in /mnt

I guess I have to mount this with a specific device ... but can you tell me which one?
What is the mount command with its parameters?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions,

Regards,

Vincent

Have you tried /mnt/camera?

Hello Xavier,

When I go in the directory, it is empty ...
I am nevertheless sure that pictures are available...

I am quite sure the problem is in the mount ... but can not figure out how to mount this. Do you think it would be similar to a mount for USB memory sticks?

Thanks for your help,

Vincent

All,

thanks for your help.
I got it ....

Simply :

[root@sun mnt]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

And I feel really stupid.
Anyway, again, thanks to all for your help and suggestions.

Vincent

Glad to hear you got it working.

I'm trying to get a Sony Cybershot installed in Mandrake 9.1.

I've checked lsusb... and it's recognized as device 10... but when I try to mount using:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
I get a message:
special device /dev/sda1 does not exist

Is there something I'm missing?
