When i attach my iPod Nano it gets nicely mounted at /media/usb-0020000... or something. i read an article elsewhere on using the udev rules to specify a device name and mount point. Here's the line i put in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-ipod.rules:

Code:

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="000A2700127A2B47", SYSFS{idVendor}="05ac" , SYSFS{product}=="iPod", NAME{all_partitions}=="ipod"

However, with this in place the device doesn't get mounted anywhere. It claims there's no /dev/sda and no /dev/ipod nor is there anything created in /media.

What am i doing wrong?

I don't know much about udev but I will tell you what is here in my copy of Linux Format. Add the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules to have your ipod mounted to /media/ipod:

Code:

BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="iPod Nano", NAME="ipod", SYMLINK="%k"

Cheers - what issue was that in?

i tried that and the same thing happens - it gets mounted but at the weird /media/usb-000yaddayadda point. It just looks like the rules i add aren't being recognised.

i've even tried udevtest but that doesn't output anything.
