Thanks for this information, I will read carefully the website.

For the moment we only know that the rsrc is used by apple to stock data to nikepod stuff (we mounted it on our computer to see it). So nothing usefull (no code) except if it exists a mean to use it to collect information (over flow for example).

I am not a legal specialist but if apple use a part of the mtools software directly in its software they must publish the code under GPL, doesn't it ?

Quoting Biscuit Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Anyways, I haven't been online lately as I'm not really supposed to be
using the computer.... But anyways, "Mtools is a collection of
utilities to access MS-DOS disks from Unix without mounting them. It
supports Win'95 style long file names, OS/2 Xdf disks and 2m disks
(store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk).

Mtools can now handle the long filenames of Windows NT and Windows 95.
Mtools is maintained by David Niemi and me (Alain Knaff).
Mtools-3.9.10 has been released on March 1st, 2005.

Mtools' configurator file is stored in /etc/mtools.conf"" - That's
quoted from http://mtools.linux.lu/.... Anyways the version on the
iPod isn't the latest, but the latest is only one version in advance,
so no big difference... however this project is quite old and I can't
quite guarentee the accuracy of the information still about the
project. But I do believe this adds more to maybe the rsrc file
controls the filesystem on the iPod, seeing as mtools can access
fat16/fat32 partitions without mounting them......
