[Bug 37861] Re: ipod reformated (to partition) cause that gtkpod open twice

[Roshan Shariff]

I can confirm this bug. The iPod ships with two partitions, sda1
(firmware) and sda2 (vfat, possibly hfs+). I resized sda2 and added
another ext2 partition sda3 for iPodLinux. HAL treats both sda2 and sda3
as iPod devices, when in fact it should treat sda3 as a normal USB drive
(i.e. g-v-m should start Nautilus, not Rhythmbox for it.)

The fix seems to be simple -- partitions other than the second on an
iPod should not be treated as belonging to a music player. The Apple
firmware itself totally ignores all other partitions.

** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
