Mounting an Asus Eeepad Transformer

[buddyd16]

I am having some trouble with my android tablet I connect it via USB and it does not auto-mount like a usb hard drive would. when I run lsusb in the terminal I can see the device listed but when I check fstab it does not show up as a disk.

Does anyone have any incite on how to get the internal storage of the device to mount as an external usb drive?

thanks for any help

I just got a Transformer Tablet. Very neat little toy.

I can get it to mount and transfer files back and fourth. It's fairly easy.

Just open a terminal and type the following;

sudo mkdir /media/transformer
sudo chmod 775 /media/transformer
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/transformer

I had to also install mtpfs;

sudo apt-get install mtpfs

The problem I have is that in order to unmount it, I had to go back into the terminal and type;

sudo umount /media/transformer

I tried to left click and 'unmount' but I didn't have access, so I had to go the 'sudo' route.

Also, if you want to mount it again, then you have to repeat the whole process. Hopefully somebody with much more experience and knowledge has some insight into this...

...and a thank you from me.

Have an Acer iconia A500 tablet.

Plugged in the tablet and
ran lsusb which gave me

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0502:3325 Acer, Inc.

Substituted Acer for transformer in iGregory's post
and worked perfectly.

Worked for me and my transformer as well. Although I had to reboot first.

I am getting jealous reading all positive reactions. So hopefully I started, typing sudo mkdir /media/transformer
No problem. So I continued with sudo chmod 775/media/transformer
Then it went wrong. My terminal said:
chmod: cannot access `/media/transformer': Transport endpoint is not connected
I have mtpfs installed..... No idea what to do next. In my filebrowser a new item was created called "transformer", but clicking it gives the same error. Can you help me out?

Same error here.
I restarted after adding the rule mentioned, and that got it showing up as a device, but it's still giving the same error.
