You're wrong. The ipod *touch* is a variant of the iphone design. It is *not the same* as previous ipods. It is *not a usb attached disk*. Period. You don't mount it. You don't format it. You don't get to copy files to it. It has an internal filesystem and database, which is accessed via a proprietary USB protocol. The internal format is irrelevant as it is not exposed to the host. It is most likely HFS+, but as I said, this is irrelevant. Non-Touch/Iphone ipods are USB mass storage devices. The device Matt asked about is not one of them. Do not buy an iphone or ipod touch if you want to use it as USB attached storage with linux. It won't work. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <[email protected]> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 "Don't kill me, or you'll have to clean up all the other messes I've left half broken!" -- Eric
