I'm running updated Lenny. I just got a droid phone and wanted to mount it on
my Lenny box. So, I plugged the USB cable into the droid and the computer.
I expected to see an sd? device show up with partitions (like sdb1, sdb2,
etc.) but they don't show up. My primary HD shows up as sda1-7. There are
entries for sdb,c,d,e and sdf, but no partitions to mount.

What do I have to do to mount the Droid under Lenny?

Thanks,

Mark

I need to do nothing special. However, I also enabled the option of
automatically mounting removable media, and Lenny simply treated it as such.

After connecting the phone, type "dmesg" to see what is going on.

On my Android-based phone, a HTC Hero on the Sprint network, once you are
connected via USB, you have to use the phone to "enable USB sharing" or
something like that. It's an option in the notifications area.

Once you do that, Linux will automatically find it as a USB removable media
device. Prior to that, it is actually a USB networking device. If you have
"root" and/or the right permissions on your plan, you can connect your laptop
via 3G through the phone in the default mode.
