iP-od on usb 2.0

**liljhand** · 02-04-2005

i am trying to use my ip-od on linux. this is what dmesg gives me.

Code:

usb 5-7&#58; new high speed USB device using address 2
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi1 &#58; SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor&#58; Apple     Model&#58; iP-od              Rev&#58; 1.62
  Type&#58;   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision&#58; 02
SCSI device sda&#58; 78126048 512-byte hdwr sectors &#40;40001 MB&#41;
sda&#58; Write Protect is off
sda&#58; Mode Sense&#58; 64 00 00 08
sda&#58; assuming drive cache&#58; write through

then i did:
# rmmod usb-storage
# modprobe usb-storage
# cd /mnt
# mkdir ip-od

so when i tried to mount it using:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 ip-od
it says:
mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist

i mean the real name when i write ip-od. the forum doesnt alllow the full name

Are you sure the usb_storage module is the only module? Maybe the i-Pod needs an additional one?

Have you made it into a "Windows i-Pod"? If you haven't, you'll need to recompile your kernel with support for HFS+ and mac partition tables. Or you can convert it:
