Re: mounting iphone/ipod/ipad from command line in linux

I haven't been able to mount the 4s to a Linux box and the 6+ I now have has no command line support in archlinux at all. If I could get that working, I could pass orgmode files to the 6+ for later work and update the versions on the computer since org-mode is available for the iPhone.

Subject: mounting iphone/ipod/ipad from command line in linux

Hi,
I do not have one of these devices, but am working on a product where people might want to mount their iWhatevers using command line tools.
i now have an IPod for testing.
It gets mounted as a normal uSB storage device and seem to work, but there are a number of packages for using the Apple stuff under command line linux.
e.g. libimobiledevice-utils.
There also is a script mount-iphone.sh which uses gvfs-mount to mount the iphone. It tells me that the device, refered to by its serial number, is already mounted if I boot the machine with the iPod plugged in. If I plug it in while the machine is running, I can use the script to mount as root. It then says the device is mounted, but not where. According to the instructions that goes with the script, one should find the name of the device under a directory in $HOME called .gvfs. I do not have such a directory after the mount.
Is any of you doing what I am trying to do?
Should I bother, or will all Apple devices be seen as a USB storage device and be mounted without these other scripts?
TIA, Willem
