Hey guys!

Ive used hotplug in the past to open gtkam when my digital camera was plugged in and I must say, Its a beautiful thing. Now, months later, I've started a new sourceforge project, ezPod-- a collection of bash scripts to mount up an Apple iPod (http://www.apple.com/ipod). My next idea was to try to combine these two ideas to have hotplug envoke my scripts to mount the iPod. Is this possible and, if it is, can someone guide me through the config scripts that I would need to do it (or at least point me to a howto)? Thanks so much!!!

Brad, when you plug your IPOD in, does it show up as a device in /proc/partitions? If so, download devlabel at
http://www.lerhaupt.com/devlabel (latest is 0.29.08).

* Plug in your IPOD
* Add it to devlabel: devlabel add -d /dev/sdX1 -s /dev/ipod_symlink

From there on, when you plug in your IPOD, it should automount. Let me know.
