Hello, to explain further, in order for libgpod to be able to actually write valid iPod database on all new models, it needs to know its model, firewire id and sometimes more. This information is automatically extracted thanks to udev hook from libgpod-common and written to <iPod>/iPod_Control/Device/SysInfoExtended every time iPod is plugged in.
I'm an Amarok developer working on iPod support and we've faces several users who found their iPod unusable because of missing SysInfoExtended file. For more information please see [1].
