hotplug usb grabbing an ipod too hard?

[Peter C. Norton]

Hi,

I'm new to the list, and would appreciate knowing if this is the wrong
forum.  I've already asked on debian-testing to no effect, so I was
hoping that this could be the right place.

If this is the correct forum, please let me know what I can do to
provide more relevant information.  Otherwise please point me in the
right direction.

My problem is as follows:

When plugging in an ipod via usb on either of 2 systems running the
debian hotplug packages, as soon as the device is plugged in it
becomes busy as though it was mounted.  I cannot cause the device to
believe that it is ready to be unmounted without disabling the hotplug
services.

System: 2 PC's running debian testing/unstable.  The kernel on each
system is debian's kernel-image-2.6.8-1, and the hotplug scripts are
version 0.0.20040329-15.  udev is running, and the devices seem to be
getting created properly.

Thanks,

-Peter

Hi,

Just do a: eject /dev/ipoddevicenode

For example, in case your ipod is the first scsi device:

eject /dev/sda

That resulted in a segfault when I did it.  I don't think I've got a
core file from it, though.

Did you check for any oopses? They can also generate seg faults.
