GTKPod

From wikiPodLinux

To get your iPod device node to show up as "/dev/ipod", create the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/00-ipod.rules" and paste the following code into it.

PC Formated iPod (vfat) 

SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{model}=="iPod*", KERNEL=="sd?2", SYMLINK+="ipod"

Mac Formated iPod (hfsplus) 

SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{model}=="iPod*", KERNEL=="sd?3", SYMLINK+="ipod"


To set the permissions so that non-root users can mount/unmount and read/write to the iPod paste the following code into the file "/etc/security/console.perms". 

<ipod>=/dev/ipod
<console>  0600 <ipod>       0600 root

To easily mount your iPod add the following code to "/etc/fstab". 

/dev/ipod /media/ipod vfat users,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Please see the README (http://www.gtkpod.org/README) file of the current distribution to get additional help. It also describes how to set up the automounter so that you will never again have to worry about mounting/unmounting the iPod.
