Craig,
I found a reference that says:
The iPod can be safely disconnected by unmounting it and removing
the Serial Bus module.
$ umount /mnt/ipod
$ rmmod sbp2
I have not used my iPod on my Linux box yet though, so no guarantees.
Good Luck.
2 issues (probably related)
I can't modprobe -r sbp2 - I get error, device is busy even though
unmounted
Mounts as root but gtkpod wants to run as user and not root
I can't make heads or tails out of what I should do...is it an entry
into
/usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy ?
what should it be?
fstab has entry for ipod to mount at /media/NAME_of_my_IPOD
but that is for sda2 which now is skipped over and shows up as sdb2
which I can mount (as root) and see files and stuff but I need a cleaner
solution. I made an entry now in /etc/fstab (which apparently you're not
supposed to do with fstab-sync) and I can deal with it as a user but it
isn't pretty. Then of course, the only way I can deal with removing the
connection is to 'eject /dev/sdb2' which is a cli thing...not user
friendly yet.
anyone?
Craig
