I pulled this from my previous post: <snipped from fstab> ### IPOD ### #/dev/sda3 /mnt/ipod hfsplus noauto,user,rw 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 </snip> Do you have an entry like that in your fstab? The "user" option is what allows a user to mount the partition. (Usuaaly the "mount" command balks unless its run by root.) Also, I have the "rw" option in mine, because I don't know what the default is, so it doesn't hurt to make it explicit. Before you even start gtkpod you need to be able to go to the ipod partition (/mnt/ipod for me) and do a "touch test ; rm test". That way you know you have write perms. -- paul w
