ipod problem
i want to use my windows formatted ipod on linux. im doing this to mount it:
su -c "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb2 /mnt/ipod" and then i check the folders in it by: ls /mnt/ipod and i can see all the folders in it. but when i run gtkpod it says: '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import aborted. also i cant unmount the ipod as it says its in use. i was able to unmount it once but the do not disconnect screen did not disappear. How can i run it using gtkpod? |
cant help with your main problem but as far as umounting the drive try:
umount /mnt/ipod if its busy close anything related to it. still doesnt work type fuser /dev/sdb2 this should tell you whats using it. if it shows up with anything do a kill 'PID' # still wont umount try: umount /mnt/sdb2 -l (as in L for lazy) konqueror likes to preload things. you can turn that off but then things take forever to load. |
ok while looking for the ipod using su -c "/sbin/fdisk -l" on usb2.0, it is not detected but it shows up when connected through firewire. i just lost my firewire cable and i cant make it work. how do i mount it through usb2.0??
