For some reason when my ipod is mounted by fstab, my transfer speeds are horrid. Also, the most recent udev upgrade broke some things for me - Iposted to this mailing list with specifics if you're interested. To get around these issues, I wrote a perl script that mounts, unmounts, and ejects my ipod (it also creates vcards, but that's probably not something you're after). It can be found here: http://linuxfortherestofus.com/?p=44 As mentioned in that post, I'm not a coder, so caveat emptor, et al. Also, I use a different (possibly wrong) udev rule, but it works for me. Now I use gnupod and my script, and don't even need x running to manage the music on my ipod. Hope this helps some. -- Shared pain is lessened, shared joy is increased; thus do we refute entropy. --Spider Robinson _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
