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:
When I try to mount /dev/meizu onto /mnt/meizu I receive:Code:crw-rw---- 1 root root 21, 2 May 14 21:26 /dev/meizu
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?Code:mount: /dev/meizu is not a block device
Thanks in advance!

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsMy 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.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsI can assist you with this..
What is your distro? Kernel ver?
This will allow me to trouble-shoot..
basic manual mounting command is:
The above will only work if sdb1 is the usb port for the meizu device and if /mnt/meizu exists.Code:$ mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/meizu
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

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsThanks 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:
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.Code:/dev/sda /mnt/removable1 vfat rw,user,noauto,sync 0 0 /dev/sdb /mnt/removable2 vfat rw,user,noauto,sync 0 0
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:
See the highlighted bit? That says it's using /dev/sda, in this case.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
I hope this helps.

Media Transfer Protocol (part of the "Windows Media" framework) is useful for mounting M6 in Linux??
Such a great information justifies the reply to a two and a half year old thread.
