To get around that, I unmounted it and manually mounted it as root using: # mkdir /media/ipod # chmod 777 /media/ipod # mount -t hfsplus -ouid=500,gid=500,umask=0 \ /dev/sdc3 /media/ipod It mounted up at /media/ipod, an "ls -l /media/ipod" reveals everything has decent permissions (777 or 666, depending) and I'm shown as the user and group for almost everything (some stuff is "nobody"). However, amarok still bitches that it's a read-only file system and thus won't show a playlist or anything. More or less useless. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
