       can't you force it to remount rw? That can often be one with regular
    HDs. Why don't you run fsck on it? is there no fsck.hfsplus? apt-file
    didn't find it...

       there is a way to set the number of mounts after which it requires
    fsck, can't you set it to higher number?

       for regular HDs I see different message if they exceed the mount
    count (it says something to that effect), maybe your iPod really was
    unmounted improperly.

       why are you mounting sda? generally you don't mount the disk but a
    partition (that has a filesystem), on my iPod (bought august 2003) the
    sda3 is the one to mount. I use firewire but that shouldn't make any
    difference.
