All that smb_lookup jazz is really ugly. Whenever I try to copy files to the device via Amarok, I get really crappy performance. A file around 5Mb takes minutes, and Amarok hangs there for most of the time. I don't recall the tool name as I'm a bit brain fried right now, but my iPod and memory cards are automatically mapped to /media/[device id]. Browsing through system:/media/blah via Konqueror gives fine results. Amarok: crap. |

| I really doubt that your iPod is in any way connected to Samba. Samba is a network service and SMB a network protokoll, and your iPod is not even a network device. |

Let's have a look at the use flags of samba:
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] net-fs/samba-3.0.30 USE="acl async automount caps cups fam pam python quotas readline swat syslog -ads -doc -examples -ipv6 -ldap (-selinux) -winbind" LINGUAS="-ja -pl" |
euse -i automount gives us:
| Code: | [- ] automount (net-fs/samba):
Enables automount support |
I guess it's got something to do with that...

| The lag could be related to something on the hardware level. I have an SD card that's giving me some problems as well. Quite a frustrating issue. As these are using different cables on different ports, I'd say it's a larger underlying problem w/ the system though. |

Generally with linux desktop setups udev hal and dbus perform most automounting features. With gentoo using the 2008.0/desktop profile will add the required use flags so that they are installed by default. However it's up to you to ensure that your kernel configuration properly supports userspace device management and that both dbus and hal are added to the default runlevels or nothing will automount utilizing desktop utilities. After you've ensured that udev hal and dbus are supported by the core system and configured properly getting gtkpod up and running should be a no brainer  |

You should be able manually mount your ipod as a FAT32 disk (assuming you formatted it that way, you can also use a mac format). It will show up as a USB storage device on lsusb, and you can find the device/partition names in dmesg. Then you should be able to do mount -t vfat /dev/whatever /mnt/myipod (pick a mount point that exists). Then you should be able to read and write to it.
You definitely do not need samba. It's a local mount, not a network mount.
Unfortunately, I could never get banshee to see my mp3 players. I don't know why. It worked in Ubuntu, but never in Gentoo. I had hal, dbus, etc all set up. It simply didn't see the devices. I have no clue why. I gave up eventually... maybe it's time to revisit this... |
