any errors? what if you try to remount it rw, does it say anything? Is there anything interesting/related in /var/log/syslog?

Ths time the iPod ran out of battery while I was trying to work things out and now I can't umount it and I get the following errors when I try to read the files:
which universe is this in? iPod battery is _charged_ via firewire connection. how can it run out of battery???
smeagol:~ 09:13:59 $ ll /mnt/ipod/ ls: /mnt/ipod/Calendars: Input/output error ls: /mnt/ipod/Contacts: Input/output error : Input/output error ls: /mnt/ipod/Notes: Input/output error total 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 99 99 6 Jul 10 10:35 iPod_Control And I can't properly unmount it anymore. It says: smeagol:~ 09:15:50 $ sudo umount /mnt/ipod umount: /mnt/ipod: device is busy Who knew that winning an iPod would be so difficult. :(
sometime I have to reset iPod to make it work again (switch hold button to HOLD, wait 5s, switch hold off, press menu and play buttons for few seconbs).
sometime I have to reboot computer, not sure what's going on but even if I unload and reload all the relevant modules it cannot connect again (rescanning scsi doesn't find the disk), when I reboot it works OK...
and just now: it found iPod 8 times (scsi 0, channel 0, id 0 - 7, lun 00). Seems like it's somewhat less stable since I upgraded to 2.6.5.
