I have lenovo K5 Android phone.
when I mount it with:
go-mtpfs -dev 'b41adca4' /media/skowronek/

files are visible for a while, but then disappeared - cannot see them (although they remain on phone)
Honestly - i do not know if it is bug in go-mtpfs or libusb lub mtp library.

Dear Kamil,

I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply to this report.  I, too,
observe the same behaviour and do not know its cause.

I've reported it upstream, but it seems that upstream development has
stopped, so this may never be fixed.

Best wishes,

   Julian

Dear all,

I've forward this issue upstream, and @mnalis suggested the following
(see https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs/issues/160):

  Does using go-mtpfs -usb-timeout 10000 perhaps help?

  Are there any errors printed when it stops working?
  If not, perhaps running with -debug usb,mtp might print some info?

If you are still experiencing these issues, please do try this; feel
free to reply directly to GitHub or to this Debian bug report.

Best wishes,

   Julian
