Error copying from iPod

[Ylan Segal]

I previously posted about some problems I was having with my iPod and
gtkpod. After some help from the kind people in that software's mailing
list, it appears that the error is USB related.

When I connect my iPod (20Gb with click-wheel, no photo, FAT formatted)
to my Ubuntu (Dapper) Laptop (Sony Vaio, with USB 2.0. iPod connects to
one of the two USB port on the laptop), the drive auto-mounts and I can
see the icon on my desktop. I can use nautilus to navigate the folder
structure (or the terminal of course) and everything seems peachy.

The problem comes when I try to copy files from the iPod to the
computer: The process just seems to hang and I get errors in the system
log (the same happens no matter what program is doing the copying:
gtkpod, cp, nautilus, etc).

Sample of the errors in the system log (A more extensive log attached):

Jun 15 20:27:30 ylan-laptop kernel: [4295243.091000] Buffer I/O error on
device sdb2, logical block 207272

Since it seems that the problem is with bad blocks, I ran dosfsck on the
drive: It doesn't find any errors.

I am puzzled and stuck. Help is much appreciated!
