Here's my script, which I put in /usr/local/bin. You will have to
change the mount point and device for camcontrol to suit your setup.
You may also want to change permissions on things in /dev so that you
can do this as a user. Don't forget that you need to change passN and
xpt0, not just the da device. Look in /etc/devfs.conf to see how to
make the chanages stick, and change the vfs.usermount sysctl to 1. I
based my setup of this on the various documents out there about
user-mounting CDs.

I just modified one of the rc scripts to make it :) Now I can do "ipod
start" and "ipod stop" to mount and umount/eject it.
On a sort of related note, anyone had problems with gtkpod reporting
double the free space on the ipod? "df" and my iPod agree about the
free space, but gtkpod says that double that amount is free. I've had
this on 5.4 and 6.0 and on both i386 and amd64.

Assistance welcome, James. I finally gave up trying to mount the iPod as an HFS+ device and reformated it in FAT32.

I adjusted the kernel config file (added 'option GEOM_APPLE'), then downloaded the hfs-freebsd-03p2 port and it built and installed exactly as described. I then rebuilt the kernel and voilà. I can't start boasting about it too much though. I still fail to mount my iPod and I just crashed my install Don't know if it's linked to my playing around with the kernel yet. I'll let you know.

If you attach the device as the root user, you should get a console message indicating that a new device was found on such-and-such port.

Re: Mounting an iPod
Hi James, Thanks for your interest. The page you indicate mentions rebuiding the kernel with HFS/HFS+ support. I found a chapter on rebuilding kernels in The Complete FreeBSD and I suppose the handbook also has something to say about it. I'll sort this out first and will come back to you about the scripts you mentioned. Edward James Seward wrote: On 10/29/05, edward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The iPod uses an HFS+ file system.

Mounting an iPod
Hi all, I'm not quite sure how to mount an iPod mini on a x86 machine under 5.4 Stable, to use with gtkpod. I installed gtkpod, then connected the iPod through firewire. But I'm not sure how to adjust my fstab file to make the iPod mount when connected. My fstab currently is : # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/ad0s3b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s3a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 The iPod uses an HFS+ file system. It's been loaded from a Mac. I would like to mount it to /mnt/ipod I'm not sure if this is helpful : # ls /sbin/mount_* /sbin/mount_cd9660 /sbin/mount_msdosfs /sbin/mount_std /sbin/mount_devfs /sbin/mount_nfs /sbin/mount_udf /sbin/mount_ext2fs /sbin/mount_nfs4/sbin/mount_umapfs /sbin/mount_fdescfs /sbin/mount_ntfs/sbin/mount_unionfs /sbin/mount_linprocfs /sbin/mount_nullfs /sbin/mount_mfs /sbin/mount_procfs Thanks all, Edward ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
