Emerge submount, load the module manually or put it into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.x and change your fstab line to:
| Code: |
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod subfs sync,nodev 0 0
|
Your iPod gets mounted when you cd into /mnt/ipod and gets unmounted when you cd out of it. Works very well!

Another good thing:
If you use udev, you can very easily configure it to create a device called e.g. /dev/ipod whenever your iPod is plugged in. The advantage is obvious: When you plug your iPod in, it's sda. But when you plug in another harddisk, USB stick or whatever, and THEN your iPod, your iPod will be sdb. Su submount would not mount your iPod but this other harddisk. With udev, you'd always have a device /dev/ipod - regardless of how many other devices there are.

Here's are some of my udev rules.
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules
| Code: |
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*4", SYSFS{idVendor}="059b", SYSFS{idProduct}="0032", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="zip"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sr*", SYSFS{model}="CDRW9602EXT-B", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrw cdroms/cdrw"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*1", SYSFS{idVendor}="1058", SYSFS{idProduct}="0100", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbhd"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*", SYSFS{idVendor}="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}="4002", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="camera"
|
The first one is for my zip drive. Creates /dev/zip
The second is for my USB cdrw. I don't remember why I used scsi as the bus, when usb may have worked. Creates /dev/cdrw and /dev/cdroms/cdrw
The third is my USB hard disk. Creates /dev/usbhd
The fourth is for my HP USB camera. I mount it instead of using something like gphoto. Creates /dev/camera
Here are the corresponding fstab entries.
/etc/fstab
| Code: |
/dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw iso9660,udf noauto,ro,noatime,users,umask=000 0 0
/dev/zip /mnt/zip vfat rw,exec,user,noauto,fmask=111 0 0
/dev/usbhd /mnt/usbhd reiserfs,vfat rw,exec,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/camera /mnt/camera vfat rw,exec,user,noauto,fmask=111 0 0
