The mtab is usually /etc/mtab. The device is a c character not a b raw device. If there is no parallel raw device, it may be that the USB is being mounted raw as a character device, not through a driver for a flash memory on USB. Make a listing of the *tab files, df and /dev with the phone and with a pen drive (which probably mounts just fine).

Many users of this and similar devices on *NIX say it is easier to connect over the air to a server you establish on the phone: ftp, ssh, samba! I suppose you could mount an sftp service as a drive with the right tools. Some windows articles talk about MTP drivers, mtpfs, gMTP, libmtp: http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/

One says you need an OTG cable, not the micro usb cable used for charging and sync (2 different USB ports on the phone?)

Another suggested this S2 procedure:

Try the following. This was tested on Galaxy SII, i am assuming it will work for SIII as well

go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities
Click on Connect Storage to PC
Connect the USB cable to your pc.
Click on Connect USB storage
Use your file manager to install/copy/paste.
Once finished, click on Disconnect storage from PC to disconnect and unmount drive from Ubuntu.

ehci

EHCI(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   EHCI(4)

NAME

     ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ehci

DESCRIPTION

     The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.

     EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol.  This means that they normally have one or more companion
     controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices.  Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
     trollers.	The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
     appear to connect to different USB busses.

SEE ALSO

     ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4), xhci(4)

HISTORY

     The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

LOADER TUNABLES

     When the kernel has been compiled with options USB_DEBUG, some tunables become available that affect the behavior of ehci.  These tunables
     can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.usb.ehci.lostintrbug
	     This tunable enables the lost interrupt quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.iaadbug
	     This tunable enables the EHCI doorbell quirk.  The default value is 0 (off).

     hw.usb.ehci.no_hs
	     This tunable disables USB devices to attach like HIGH-speed ones and will force all attached devices to attach to the FULL- or LOW-
	     speed companion controller.  The default value is 0 (off).
