I'm sure someone here knows how to do this. Two days of trawling google
have given me many examples to crib but none have worked.
I recently acquired an ipod nano (2nd gen.) 4GB. With grip and gpod, or
just with lame and a lot of painful manual renaming and gpod, I can put
tracks from CDs on it. The problem is, of course, that it doesn't always
appear at /dev/sdb2, as it did at first. I have tried adding a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/060-ipod.rules containing
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="iPod", KERNEL="sd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="ipod"
and a lot of variations suggested by innumerable postings and articles
that google found me. /dev/ipod never appears. I make no pretense to
understand udev, but I get the general idea. Surely it cannot be so
difficult to make the ipod appear somewhere consistent? I know how to
edit /etc/fstab and how to mount the thing, if I can just get it to
be in the right place.
I understand the key information is supposed to be revealed by something
like:
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdc2)
so here is the relevant bit of the very long output -- at least I think
it is the relevant bit as it is the only stanza containing the string
"iPod":
looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/usb1/1-1':
KERNELS=="1-1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
DRIVERS=="usb"
ATTRS{configuration}==""
ATTRS{serial}=="000A270019578153"
ATTRS{product}=="iPod"
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Apple"
ATTRS{maxchild}=="0"
ATTRS{version}==" 2.00"
ATTRS{devnum}=="28"
ATTRS{speed}=="12"
ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="64"
ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="2"
ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00"
ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00"
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00"
ATTRS{bcdDevice}=="0002"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="1260"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac"
ATTRS{bMaxPower}=="500mA"
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="c0"
ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1"
Can anyone tell me what to do or point me to an idiot-proof guide?
TIA
