16 * Connect your device again
17
18 * As root, execute "fdisk -l"
19
20 * If you see an unexpected partion, e.g. /dev/sdb1, as root
21 "mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 $HOME/nexus"
22
23 * "cd $HOME/nexus" and "ls -al". Do you see anything?
24
25 If that works, you've mounted it just like a USB key. Make sure that
26 you "cd" away from the device, and "umount $HOME/nexus".
27
28 Check you device's mounting options. I've seen devices that have
29 options to mount as...
30 - regular USB devices
31 - MTP devices
32 - PTP (direct photo-to-printer) devices
33
34 Select the mount option most convenient for you.
