I know this have been posted many times. However, I am seriously fed up at the fact I can't mount the Galaxy Tab 10.1 like how I mount the Galaxy S II.. Any solution to it? What's the point if I can't get my media files on to my tablet?
All is here :

Hello!
I just came here to say that I cannot get mount my A500 on ubuntu ! Is it the same for you? How can I fix the issue?
(by the way, congratulations for rooting the tablet !!)
Thanks!
Same here, I found the windows USB drivers on Acer's site but linux drivers were MIA...
The Iconia A500 uses MTP not mass storage (in fact I believe this is a function of honeycomb as the same applies for the Xoom). There are drivers for Windows and OSX to allow access but on Linux it is a lot harder.
I did find a site detailing how to get things working on a Xoom and used this information (modified for the A500) to get access once but since then I have not been able to get it to work at all (this is on Ubuntu 11.04 when the instructions detailed how to get it to work in 10.10).
Also Banshee is supposed to support MTP but again I have not been able to get the A500 to work with this (I have yet to really look into this though).
sux i also use linux. using ftp or actually putting a sd card in every time, its very annoying
They really should leave an option to enable "mass storage" as a method of exporting the internal flash memory. Not everyone wants what these companies think is best.
still no solution?
I tried to adapt the method for the Xoom but it didn't work either !! :'(

Apparently not. They stand on FOSS' shoulders, then crap on our with the added height.
I use adb to move stuff to my sdcard. Its quicker for me to use command line than a gui.
I already have adb installed and working for my phone so it just made sense for me.
doesn't you need driver to get the Acer A500 work properly?
I've already download the Android SDK but the only driver available is made for Windows
As folks have pointed out, the A500 does not have USB mounting support (yet) but does seem to have support for MTP. I found details on how to mount the Xoom onto Ubuntu Linux here. I have to assume these are the instructions that everyone is talking about above.
I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 (I unfortunately heard far too many dangerous things about 11.04 and it has become the only Ubuntu release I've not upgraded to). This instructions, modified for the Iconia A500, have worked for me. I've mounted and unmounted the device several times now.
I made some changes to the instructions. First my file is called /etc/udev/rules.d/51-honeycomb.rules. The entire file for me is:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0502", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3341", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="proprietary", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", MODE="0664", GROUP="audio"
I've made my mount point /media/iconia.
At this point I've not put the structure in fstab, but am mounting and unmounting manually with the commands:
mtpfs /media/xoom -o allow_other
and
fusermount -u /media/iconia
but, again, this is working for me.
My only question would be this: this gives me access to /mnt/sdcard on the Iconia tablet. How might I get access to /mnt/external_sd ?

Well congratulations then !! I'il try with your config file, should be way better than mine
But i'm on 11.04 (and i have to say that i had problems at the beginning but i booted on a live cd and i was able to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.04 (wtf?!?) and it solves everything )
Hi all,
Thanks for the instructions. I followed them and now am able to see my A500 under Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit). However while I can see the directories on the tablet I can not see the files.
If I plug the tablet in and copy a file to the tablet from my PC the file is visible. If I then unmount and remove the tablet and reconnect it, the files do not show in Nautilus (Ubuntu default file manager).
However if I look at the files with a file manager on the A500 the files are there.
Any ideas?
I've tried playing around with the UDEV rules but no matter what I do I am unable to get past this.
I have also tried this on a 32bit 11.04 Ubuntu machine and obtained identical results.
In short, is anyone able to offer any suggestions that will allow me to view my files on the A500 in Ubuntu's Nautilus browser consistently?
Thanks for making this forum a great place to learn about the tablet!

When i transfer mp3 file to /music, all album folders end up empty except for album-arts. All mp3 files is located in /music.
And if i transfer a *.avi file to /video all looks good, but when transfer is complete there is no file stored on the A500.
Why this, anyone?
A500 mounted as mtpfs.
Can you mount an external microsd as mass storage and have Ubuntu pick it up? If you can, theroretically couldn't you just symlink the internal memory to a "folder" on the microsd? That's what I've done on the Mytouch 4G to get internal storage access,

Thank you so much kinnerc! Now i can sync my music with Banshee. YAY!
Hello 'developers' here,
i want to make my galaxy tab 10.1 superpowerful on software side too,
i recently entered android world, i have been using nokia n900 [maemo] and i want to bring some of its powers to galaxy tab.
i want to run full desktop linux on top of android by chroot.
yes you are right, some people did "TABUNTU", i appreciate them, but you know it is not usable.
enough of story(its my first post, so wrote in that way).
¬I meant to say the chroot linux (tabuntu) is not usable, i guess the bottleneck in performance is becuase the chroot-image is stored on VFAT or NTFS filesystem ( wiz. mounted at /sdcard ).
>>>so, (1) need to repartition internal '/sdcard' memory in a *safer* way, create new 2GB ext3 partion and use it for chroot-ing. =>this will greately improve performance and makes it very usable(from my own experience on N900)
¬we can share resources b/w guest and host OS, by properly mounting( oh! i mean binding) the android filesystem hierarchy to guest linux (can be *buntu, arch,fedora,backtrack anything).. just check out how: qole.blogspot.com /2009/03/easy-chroot-for-maemo.html
>>>> (2) well, i need this bcoz, i want to run arduino IDE on gtab 10.1, so we need to share usb dev to guest linux. I have searched for /dev/sda , /dev/sdb or similar devices but couldn't find them in honeycomb,do you know where the USB device is located below '/dev/' in android
I am noob so i request experts here should give a try
And one bottom line:" If xda-developers wishes, then everything is possible"
so, whynot a Xephyr port for android to nest a xsession instead of vnc, for chroot-ing?

I'm wondering if it's at all possible to format a USB stick via the OTG cable on an N7 with CM 10.1.
I found a thread in the Galaxy Note forum, but that was posted in May 2012, with no answers or tips.
So, I turn to you guys. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I should maybe specify as to why I want to do this:
Recently I a colleague of mine lent me his USB drive, and it seriously messed up my system (OSX). And as a precaution, I was thinking of formatting drives before I plug them in my main system. And seeing how android is a pretty "neutral" platform, I could use that to safely format USB drives.
The technique used in this thread (see last post) was to install a command-line binary "parted".
I was going to link to my thread but seems someone beat me. Lol.
If you need more detail or help with any of that feel free to ask.

I'm having issues as well, however I can at least get it to boot. Have you tried setting it up by following these instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079898
My problem is starting the gui with vnc. All I get is a grey box. Also, I'm not sure why but I'm missing tools like airmon, aireplay etc. which should be in /sbin. Also when ever I attempt to run any of the programs from terminal emulator I get a message:
ifconfig is available in /sbin
The command could not be located because /sbin is not included in the PATH environment variable. This is most likely caused by the lack of admin priviledges associated with your user account.
i am sorry i tried to delete the poste (wrong adress ) but i can't
if any one tells me how to delete it
Ps : or how to make the script work on galaxy s4 it would be great, thanks

I have 4 of these 32gb drives and they work in all my Samsung Galaxy Smart Phones ... 3, 4, 5 and 6. They also work in all my tablets ... Tab 8, 10.1, Tab S ... They auto mount and are USB 3.0 ... AND the BEST part? They have a standard issue USB port on one end and the USB mini port on the other so they can run just about ANYWHERE on any device. They Auto Mount up as "USB Drive 1" in all the portable devices and drive letter mount in computer type situations. Well worth the 12 bucks! I hope this helped! Link for drive:
