Please note that `sudo` is required.\n\nIf the connection has been dropped (for example, the 3DS is not in microSD management), commands like `ls` will freeze.\n\n\n## Connection loss\n\nA downside of doing this is that connection is very unstable. Even a simple `ls /mnt` will cause a the filesystem to \"ghost\".\n\n## Filesystem ghosting\n\nIf you mount the share, and execute `ls`, it will seem to \"empty\" out the share for some reason. However, files will **still be writeable.** You just can't see them.\n\nThis is proven by the following:\n\n```sh\n[/]% ls /mnt\n Directory of /mnt\nTotal                       0 bytes\nFree space        59021819904 bytes (95.4%)\n\n# Listing /mnt (the share.) Note the amount of bytes\n# free; \"Free space\"\n\n[/]% vim /mnt/something.txt\n\n# I open up vim and write something.\n\n[/]% ls /mnt               \n Directory of /mnt\nTotal                       0 bytes\nFree space        59021787136 bytes (95.4%)\n\n# Note that it seems empty...but the Free space has\n# DECREASED!\n[/]% \n```\n\nThe updating of \"Free space\" seems to be unstable, as I only wrote a few words to `/mnt/something.txt`, and the free space lowered by a lot of bytes. It got lowered by a lot of bytes because I just copied the starter kit to the SD card a few minutes ago, and I'm assuming that the remaining space had only updated just now.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fslice%2F3ds-microsd-on-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fslice%2F3ds-microsd-on-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fslice%2F3ds-microsd-on-linux/lists"}
