Problems mounting Ipod


OK,

I was able to successfully mount and use my Ipod. I was using gtkpod to xfer MP3s onto my Ipod and it had successfully imported the songs over. I was in the process of updating the tags on some mp3s when my PC locked up. I was forced to reboot and every since I can't get my Ipod to mount. Below are some outputs that may be useful.


I am using RH9


sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/Ipod
Password:
mount: /dev/sda2 is not a valid block device


sudo /sbin/fdisk -l :

Disk /dev/hda: 6448 MB, 6448619520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda2 14 703 5542425 83 Linux

cat /proc/mounts:

I have tried everything I did to make it work and I cant get it working again.

Anyone have any ideas? Also I need to set it up so I can umount the Ipod when I get ready to remove it from the PC. Everytime I try to umount it, I get a "can not unmount, device is busy error"

For the umounting error, try changing the options in gtkpod so it handles mounting/umounting the drive.

OK, thanks. If I can get the Ipod to mount again I'll try that.
