[plug] USB mass storage and SD card

[Ben Jensz]

I've got a Minolta digital camera that plugs into USB and is seen by 
Linux as a mass storage device.  All I did was mount it and access the 
files stored on it as a separate filesystem.  I was using Fedora Core 1 
for that. 

So once its apparently mounted at a particular location, you can't see 
any files on it?  Or transfer any files to it?
