File system type Galaxytab A7

[user3WBcCMoGS6]

I've just bought one of the above and want to easily transfer files (books) from my PC to the SD card. I'm on Linux. I can already do that, but have to laboriously unmount the thing before jmtpfs will mount it correctly. Now I want to add a line in /ect/fstab not to automount the thing. I need to know the file system type. As it's Android, possibly ext4, but I'm not sure. Anybody knows?

Larger MicroSD cards are often in Exfat format. Can't promise for yours though!

The kernel comes with exfat mount support but I had to install exfat-utils to fully manipulate the filesystem.

Thanks for this. What happens is Gnome tries to mount the tablet, but has trouble doing so. Then I must right click on the Samsung in file manager and tell it do unmount it. That takes minutes. When it's unmounted, I issue jmtpfs /path/to/mountpoint and the tablet is instantly mounted. I can then freely do what I want using the Gmome file manager. The first unmounting is a hassle, but I don't do it that often.

That's annoying. I use KDE and have not had that issue.
