You can open a terminal window and start monitoring your syslog with:
tail -fn0 /var/log/syslog | sed 's/^.*localhost //'
Then you can access a few pictures on the camera and check if you see
error messages in the terminal window. (CTRL + C stops the monitoring.)

Let's have a quick look at the partition table. Please post the output
of
fdisk -l /dev/sda
(You need to be root or a member of group "disk" to run this command.)
