Re: ipod udev rule

You should read /etc/udev/readme-udev-arch.txt ... there were some syntax changes, like SYSFS -> ATTRS.

Re: ipod udev rule

I've been through at least 5 ipod rules - here's the most recent that still works.  Note that I have an "ipod" group that my user is a member of.

SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{vendor}=="Apple", KERNEL=="sd?2", ATTRS{model}=="iPod*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="ipod", GROUP:="ipod"

Re: ipod udev rule

This may be slightly off topic, but I suggest any Linux user with an iPod consider slapping Rockbox on there. It will make it so much better.
