So I have been trying to mount my Samsung 3150f camera and I have been using a combination of these two tutorials:

but when I enter lsusb I get this:

*-usb
    description: Mass storage device
    product: Samsung Digital Camera
    vendor: FUJITSU
    physical id: 1
    bus info: usb@3:1
    logical name: scsi8
    version: 0.00
    serial: E00000000002
    capabilities: usb-2.00 scsi emulated scsi-host
    configuration: driver=usb-storage maxpower=100mA spe`

The second link has been really helpful but is telling me I should be looking for something like:

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 040a:0565 Kodak, Inc.

I see the Bus info but the other two I am not sure if they are called something else? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

Why should a tutorial about a Kodak camera give you a string to search for in a Samsung camera? Never mind. See product: Samsung Digital Camera

One interesting line is: 

configuration: driver=usb-storage

which tells you that your Samsung camera looks like a usb-storage device (mountable disk).

Record the time (touch /tmp/now or write it down). Unplug your camera from your system, wait 10 seconds, reconnect your camera, wait another 10 seconds, and type dmesg -T in a terminal window. Look at the entries with times later than the time you recorded (ls -l /tmp/now). They will show you what the system thinks is going on when you connect your camera. One piece of information to look for is the device name (sda, sdb, sdc, etc), which will be useful in the mount command, if necessary (man -a mount).

With the camera connected, use mount to see what is mounted, df to look at the space and where it is mounted, IF it auto-mounted.

Once you know the device name, you need to find out the partition type. Type: 

sudo fdisk -l

and look for your device name.

Now that you know the device name and the filesystem type (also known as fstype), read man mount, a couple of times.

  • This is what I get when I type dmesg -T – iothecat Jun 02 '16 at 20:11
  • Actually the response is too long to paste here, but I do see where it detects it. There is a red font that states [sdb] No Caching mode page found and right below it says [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through would that mean anything significant? Sorry if I am asking dumb questions, still a newb. – iothecat Jun 02 '16 at 20:15
  • It looks like my camera is labeled as sdb1 – iothecat Jun 02 '16 at 20:28
