I think you can mount it as a normal PCFS filesystem if you run something like:mount -F pcfs -o hidden <device>:c /mountpointYou should see the device if you run 'rmformat' .7/M.mAbrantea at 2007-7-10 13:26:23 >

Perhaps your are standing in the directory /mount/ipod when you ran the mount command?Also, try:mount -F pcfs -o hidden /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p2 /mount/ipod ..7/M...mAbrantea at 2007-7-10 13:26:23 >

A friend of mine has an Ipod. He says you need special software to access the device (at least the music stuff).
I heard that there is a project creating an open-source software that allows access to the Ipod using Linux. Maybe it is possible to port the software.

Hmm, when I type that (mount -F pcfs -o hidden /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p2 /mount/ipod) in, I get a message saying, "mount point /mnt/ipod doesn't exist". Am I missing something?Message was edited by: Anya_PrynnAnya_Prynna at 2007-7-10 13:26:23 >

Hello.
You should create an empty directory (such as /mntdevs/ipod) and take it as second argument of mount (mount .... /dev/dsk/c0d0t0s2 /mntdevs/ipod). I would not create it as subdirectory of /mnt because some programs mount devices directly to /mnt. You may use /mnt itself as second argument.
Are you sure "c0t0d0s2" is your ipod? It sounds more like the main (internal) hard disk of a Sparc computer.
