Most iPods hold music, files of which are generally 2KB or greater. So, the iPod cuts down a lot on the inode directory contents. You could reformat the iPod with 512 byte block sizes if you like. If libparted is broken, it should be fixed to handle these issues... -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- "It has been just so in all my inventions.
