It is hard for me to imagine that representing an MTP device as a file system would work very well (but I would be happy to be proven wrong). MTP is really more of a database protocol than a file system. It is geared for transferring files in a single atomic operation rather than random access reads and writes. The protocol has support for partial read/write operations, but there are likely devices that do not support this. -- Mike Lockwood Google android team -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
