[gentoo-user] Ejecting an IPod
Ok here is what I am wanting to do: I windows when you connect your IPod it autodetects it and brings up itunes, then you can do the whole safely remove hardware blah blah. After you have done that you no longer have the DO NOT DISCONNECT screen on the IPod but it continues to charge. I would like to do the same in linux. My IPod isnt currently mounted but when you connect it creates a node in /dev. No how do I disconnect it so that it still remains to charge and no longer has the DO NOT DISCONNECT screen?-- When you say I wrote a program that crashed Windows, people just stare at you blankly and say Hey, I got those with the system, for free. - Linus Torvalds, 1995

I use: `eject /dev/hd[a|b|c]` - sub in whatever letter your USB driver has assigned to your ipod. It probably won't work if you use /dev/hda2 (which is the device file for the *partition* on which your music resides). You'll need to actually use the device, /dev/hda. It usually takes a few seconds, then the command returns and my iPod mini's screen goes back to normal mode as it continues to charge. All of this as root, of course... Good luck, Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Revisit your kernel's configuration and disable the Slow USB Block Device support (under Device Drivers/Block Devices, AFAIK). Instead, enable usb-storage if you didn't yet (in the USB config section). This provides a SCSI emulation for accessing USB devices and is probably more completely implemented than with UBD's. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Secondly, if you got /dev/uba, your kernel isn't configured properly. Namely, you have enabled the Low Performance USB Block driver - this isn't good. Notice the help for that option states Warning: Enabling this cripples the usb-storage driver.. You're going to have to disable it... 'make menuconfig' your kernel, and disable Device Drivers-Block devices-Low Performance USB Block driver. Also, while you're at it, make sure Device Drivers-USB support-USB Mass Storage support is enabled, and also Device Drivers-SCSI device support-SCSI disk support. Then, your iPod should show up as /dev/sda (or /dev/sdb, if you have another SCSI disk or a SATA disk), and you should hopefully should be able to eject it... - -- [Name ] :: [Matan I.
