i just got an ipod, and im trying to get it to work with gtkpod... first, i have added this line into the /etc/fstab file

/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat user,rw,noauto 0 0

i am pretty sure i have the windows ipod... it is the HP one. but when i try to do a

mount /mnt/ipod

i get this error...

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
or too many mounted file systems

the ipod is new out of the box. any help??

try setting the filesystem to auto instead of vfat?

if i try auto, it gives me this error...

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

hehe... oh well. It was worth a try...
Hrm, are you sure its vfat? They didn't sneak ntfs or an apple format onto there?
