Hi, just back from a reboot.

Interestingly the 2GB device (external SD card) that I put in to test previously now automounts perfectly and I can browse the directories. So a fruitful reboot

If I mount the 29GB internal storage manually with sudo mount..., I can now see a few files, none of the audio and video that I can see from the phone.

I even managed to create an empty text file on the 29GB device which I viewed on the phone. - needed to create as root.

So a solution for me seems to be, manually editing the fstab to setup a mount and rights for this device. A totally workable solution.

It is however not an automount

EDIT: this is what I have as my fstab to mount this nicely

/dev/sdb /media/n900 vfat dmask=027,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=137,user,auto 0 0


Thanks!
