Hi
I recently got a GoPro video camera and ran into some problems with
getting the files from it to my Fedora 24 desktop. When connected via
USB it automagically mounts and I can see the video files in Files. I
can transfer small files (around 100MB) from it, but not large files
(1GB). Don't know exactly where the limit lies. But in VLC I can play
also the large files on the GoPro device even though I couldn't copy
them.
So I thought I would try to copy them from a terminal window. But I
couldn't determine the mount point! I look in journalctl and df without
getting any wiser.
So my questions are:
How can I determine the mount point for a USB device?
What's the best way to copy large files over USB?
Does dmesg give you any output when you plug the device in? That's usually my go to
for finding a USB. You can then mount it wherever you would like (ex: /mnt/myusb) using
the mount command from a terminal. Just create a directory somewhere.
