ipod mini fat good hfsplus bad

[Apreche]

Ok, so I was having a problem with my iPod mini that was also experienced by others. There is a thread about it here.

One of my theories was that the problem was file system corruption. So I borrowed a friend's powerbook for a few minutes and switched my iPod to hfsplus instead of fat32. I already had it working with my gentoo install using firewire and usb with udev and hotplug and fat32. All I needed was to add the hfsplus stuff. So I rebuilt my kernel adding support for hfsplus file systems and emerged hfsplusutils.

When I plug the iPod in with either firewire or usb two devices appear. /dev/sdc and /dev/sg2. With fat32 as the file system 3 devices would apear. /dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2. I understand that sg2 is some sort of generic scsi device that is unmountable. I have searched many threads, but I haven't found anyone having quite this problem. What do I have to do to get sdc1 and sdc2 devices to appear when using hfsplus with my iPod? Is this maybe a bug or unsupported thing in udev?
