Among the features those were lost during the upgrade from Ice Cream
Sandwich to Jelly Bean, the one which I miss most was USB Mass Storage
mode. It was the preferred method to backup the files from the Tab and
sync the e-books to the Tab from Calibre Library. Calibre was pretty
fast to provide support for MTP and syncing e-books were back to normal
real soon.
However I was missing the USB mass storage mode as I could not access the files in the tab from the Linux command line for backing up the files. Finally I managed to get it working using mtpfs. The configuration was pretty straight forward but I could not get it work reliably. Most of the time I used to get the message "Transport endpoint is not connected" when trying to access the Tab from the command line. Finally found that mtpfs was crashing with core dump. Looks like the mtpfs for Fedora is broken. Even compiling the latest sources didn't help. Finally managed to get things going using go-mtpfs.
If you are trying to get mtpfs working in Fedora, try go-mtpfs : https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs
Binaries of go-mtpfs are here : http://hanwen.home.xs4all.nl/public/software/go-mtpfs/
