Plug in iPod (nano and 120Gig classic) get these errors in dmesg:
[ 6005.480448] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1.
[ 6259.618242] FAT: invalid media value (0x2f)

Ipod mounts on desktop ok, but can't be used in songbird, banshee,
exhaile, any iPod manager except for rhythmbox. Nautilus browses ipod
directory fine.

fdisl -l /dev/sdb shows:

sdb1 is the iPod's Operating System and GVFS is attempting to mount it,
i believe. sdb2 is the vfat partition where the music lives.

mount shows:
/dev/sdb2 on /media/JBB-POD type vfat 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)

If I unmount the ipod (/media/JBB-POD) and then mount it manually:
sudo mount -t vfat -o 
rw,user,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush 
/dev/sdb2 /media/ipod/

Everything is fine. It can then be used by all iPod managers (songbird,
banshee, etc).

I dualboot with Janunty (9.04) and everything is fine when iPod is
mounted automatically.
