Galaxy 10.1 doesn't have the USB mount option. My Nexus S which runs on 
Android 4.0 has this option. Galaxy is using MTP protocol which doesn't 
allow it to mount as USB storage device. I can mount it on Windows 
though, but I don't use Windows. So, Ubuntu should be able to mount as well.

Thanks.
