Re: Ipod permission problems RESOLVED

I use this udev rule - there are many others like it, but this one is mine:

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

for this to be of any use, create a group named ipod and add add your user to it.

Oh, and replace subsystems, etc, where appropriate.

I use no specific udev rule for ipod, and I have no entry for it in fstab.  Hal manages to mount it fine with all the necessary premissions by default, it seems, though it can take forever for it to mount (sometimes well over a minute - this started with 2.6.22 kernels, I think).  It's a fat32 formated ipod.
