Mounting M6 in Linux

Greetings!

I have just received my Meizu M6 tonight. I am running Linux, and have configured udev to detect the Meizu player. I have the following:

Code:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 21, 2 May 14 21:26 /dev/meizu
When I try to mount /dev/meizu onto /mnt/meizu I receive:

Code:
mount: /dev/meizu is not a block device
Would someone with a working Linux installation + Meizu M6 please tell me your /dev/meizu (or equivalent) node numbers and also your /etc/fstab line for the M6?

Thanks in advance!

My one is now just one week old; I have not done anything with udev for it. I simply use "mount -o async /dev/sda /meizu" at this moment, as the Meizu is detected as a normal usb memory device. I am shure that you'll have to configure it that way.

I can assist you with this..

What is your distro? Kernel ver?

This will allow me to trouble-shoot..

basic manual mounting command is:

Code:
$ mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/meizu
The above will only work if sdb1 is the usb port for the meizu device and if /mnt/meizu exists.

My distro is Ubuntu (debian built)... it will automatically see my device as soon as i attach it. However if it doesn't i mount it with the above command into a different mount point: /media/meizu

Thanks for all the offers of assistance guys, while collecting all of the important information you requested I actually found that the player can now be mounted. I did make a small change in my kernel to enable generic PNP.. perhaps that did it? I also put some media onto the player from my win32 partition... I'm at a loss, but thank you anyway!

I'm using Debian here. What I have is two folders, one called /mnt/removable1 and the /mnt/removable2. Also these extra lines in /etc/fstab:

Code:
/dev/sda        /mnt/removable1   vfat    rw,user,noauto,sync   0       0
/dev/sdb        /mnt/removable2   vfat    rw,user,noauto,sync   0       0
The reason I have two entries is that I may have some other USB device plugged in at the same time. When I plug something in, the system assigns it a /dev/sdX entry. "X" is a, b, c,... depending on order in which I plug things in.

You can find out what the system is doing with the thing you plugged in by typing "dmesg" in a terminal - the last few lines will tell you what happened, like this:

Code:
 usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 3
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor: Meizu     Model: MiniPlayer        Rev: 1.00
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 7987200 512-byte hdwr sectors (4089 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 26 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
SCSI device sda: 7987200 512-byte hdwr sectors (4089 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 26 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
 sda:
 sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
usb-storage: device scan complete
See the highlighted bit? That says it's using /dev/sda, in this case.

I hope this helps.
