M3, does it play nice w/LINUX?

My M3 arrived yesterday, but I am experiencing issues mounting the device on my linux box

I have set the USB mode set to MSC...am I missing something?
firmware T 2.001.3
manny

I connect my M3 to my Linux server during the night to recharge it, but I never tried to mount. Can you specify how you try to mount it ? What are the issues you mention ?

Also if you have access to another PC that recognize it you can try to upgrade the firmware, but there are little chance that it fixes the problem.

Have you ever mounted a usb flash key/drive on your linux box?

Once you plug-it-in....your system should recognize it, and associate it with a device file that can be mounted.

If it is truly MSC compliant, I should be able to mount on my linux box.
I do this for usb keys, and my sansa e260 that I recently handme-downed to the teenager @home.

I will try upgrading the firmware while keeping fingers Xd.

thanks,
manny

tried again on my opensuse box @home...It worked!!
started coping music to new player :D

How do you mount?
do a "dmesg" from an xterm after you connect your player (to determine associated device):

sdh: assuming drive cache: write through
sdh:


I mount removable media under the /media directory, so I created a directory called "meizu"
add the following entry in your /etc/fstab file


> grep sdh /etc/fstab
/dev/sdh /media/meizu vfat noauto,noatime,users,shortname=win95,check=s 0 0


now to mount, type "mount /media/meizu"

don't forget to umount when your done...

I'm happy again :D
