You can put an entry into /etc/fstab (please adapt the mount options to your needs): gphotofs /media/camera fuse users,rw,noauto,defaults 0 0 Make sure in that case /media/camera exists: [ -d /media/camera ] || mkdir /media/camera Now you should be able to mount your camera by simpy issuing: mount /media/camera (This bit of documentation was borrowed from the Debian gphotofs package, with thanks)
