i just got an iPod(!), and i'm very excited to start using it.
however, i can't figure out how to mount it. i'm not even trying to
set up automounting or anything right now (though eventually i'd like
to); i just want to mount it to write music to it.
the instructions at the gtkpod README page offer several similar ways
of doing this, all of which use /dev/sda2 as the device you're
mounting. they all say, though, "/dev/sda2 may not be appropriate, if
you have other scsi devices."
well, when my USB cord is connected to my iPod, and i type
mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/iPod
(yes, i've already made the mountpoint), i get:
mount: /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device
i know my system sees it, because dmesg tells me:
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 9
and i can see it connect and unconnect by tail -f'ing /var/log/syslog.
i'm using kernel 2.6.6-1-686, on which USB is enabled (i'm using a
usb mouse), and the vfat file systemt is inserted as a module.
can anyone give me any hints as to how to get this thing mounted?
thanks a lot!
