I've observed now that it can take several minutes after activating the camera (plugging it in and turning it on, the order doesn't seem to matter) for the camera icon to appear on my desktop and for the mount to take place. It also appears that the mount works even if there's no entry in fstab, though I haven't yet checked to see if that holds after a reboot. With no fstab entry the camera shows up as sdb1 rather than as camera. Which leads to the next question: is it better to have a /media/camera entry in fstab or not? On the surface it seems to work either way. Paul Abrahams
