Mounting iRiver T30
I'm trying to mount my iRiver T30 so I can actually use it.
I'm running Debian Etch, and so far I've tried as su: # mkdir /media/iriver # mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/iriver what it seems to do is mirror my hardrive at the location /media/iriver Any suggestions? When I do get this working properly, what would be a good program to move mp3's on to my T30? Thanks in advance, Barnes |
Do you have an SATA hard drive? Do you know for sure that the kernel is referring to your device as /dev/sda? See what dmesg says. Also, you need to mount partitions, e.g. /dev/sda1 and not /dev/sda. Edit, as for moving stuff to your device, well there's mv or cp!

You should see lines relating to your device after plugging it in. Post the last ~ 10-15 lines of the output here.

Here are the last few lines:

Is there no more output?

Is there nothing like
sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb Post your "fdisk -l" (lowercase L, not a 1). |
There's the following:

Can you mount /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2?

try this as root, type
tail -f /var/log/messages next, plug in your player when you plug in the device, the kernel will append new lines pertaining to your device. Post the output ( new lines ) you get. PS. After searching around with google. It seems this device does not use the Mass Storage protocol, like the earlier iriver models. The protocol your model uses is called MTP which is use by windows media player. Most of the searches recommend updating the firmware. Sometimes this helps. But be careful, updating a firmware can also be risky. If done incorrectly, the device could be inoperable. |
