[Cialug] iPod/Linux oddity

[Tony Bibbs]

Well my first real problem is that I never see /dev/ipod show up and it always gets mounted on /dev/sdb2.  Apparently my hal policy isn't getting picked up so is there a trick to get this working or a good way to test my policy even works?

I'm not sure, but would something like this work:

<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.ro" type="bool">true</merge>
