Here is what dmesg | tail shows after I connect my android phone to the USB port (the last three lines show up when I turn on USB tethering on the android device):

# dmesg | tail

scsibus2 at vscsi0: 256 targets
softraid0 at root
scsibus3 at softraid0: 256 targets

urndis0: using RNDIS, address 02:69:60:0b:0a:00

This is what disklabel shows:

# disklabel urndis0 
disklabel: /dev/rurndis0: No such file or directory
# disklabel ugen2 
disklabel: /dev/rugen2: No such file or directory

How do I mount (or copy files from) the android phone? I am a new BSD (OpenBSD 6.2) user.

Theory:

• You do not need disklabel ! It is used to create BSD partitions inside of PC(MBR) partition (slice in terms of BSD)


• There are 2 types of USB storage protocols:


• • USB Mass Device. Block device (flash, external drive) and it is fully supported by umass(4) driver.
  
  


• • MTP device. It works in terms of files, not blocks and it is not supported by OpenBSD kernel, so OpenBSD can only say thay you have some general USB device (ugen(4)) which means you need some user tool to access it.
  
  

Good news is there is a port of Linux simple-mtpfs which works like FUSE: file system running in user space: http://ports.su/sysutils/simple-mtpfs . And OpenBSD has fuse(4).

Practice (just tried it with my Andorid and OpenBSD 6.3):

• pkg_add simple-mtpfs


• mtp-connect


• simple-mtpfs /mnt && cd /mnt/ && ls
