Using gtkpod for an ipod
in [Debian]
|
From: Peter Robinson on 21 Jun 2008 08:20 | Hi all, I have a 30 GB iPod that I would like to migrate to my debian box. I am currently trying to get gtkpod running. What is the recommended way of mounting the ipod (I am currently running fluxbox with no automnatic mounts). If I try to mount it as hfsplus or vfat I get an error like: peter:/home/peter# mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb /mnt/ipod mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so dmesg | tail shows: peter:/home/peter# dmesg | tail sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 6c 00 00 08 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock FAT: bogus logical sector size 2 VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb. hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock Cannot find an answer in the docs, any help appreciated! cheers, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
