jmo707 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've a Canon Powershot A510. I conected it with the mini-USB cable, and dmesg give me this: VFS: busy inodes on changed media. VFS: busy inodes on changed media. usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7 usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=30c2 usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 4-2: Product: Canon Digital Camera usb 4-2: Manufacturer: Canon Inc. VFS: busy inodes on changed media. VFS: busy inodes on changed media. But it isn't mounted as mass storage. What can be the problem, and how can I mount it manually?

arctic Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Which Mandriva version are you using? BTW: I am using a cheap external card-reader for transferring my pictures (cost: 7 Euros). Way easier than dealing with the camera itself IMHO (especially if you have to transfer, as in my case, hundreds of pictures from several DSLRs to your desktop. :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) The problem is that all recent Canon cameras support the PTP protocol rather than the usb_storage one. The older ones are even worse- they only work with Canon's proprietary communication protocol, not even PTP. Solution: install gphoto2 and one of its frontends (they are many of them available). There's no way to make a Canon digicam usb_storage aware. Edited January 18, 2009 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
