Re: [kde] automounting IPOD

man fstab
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2
or
xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label
(cf.
e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or
UUID=<uuid>,
e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or
`UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.
This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI
disk
changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label.

Problem is IDK if the IPOD is going to have an UUID, though it might have a
label though

I have gentoo + KDE. When I plugin in my iPod I get a "Permission denied"
message pop up on my screen. Konqueror opens up with system:/media/sda2
in
the Location bar, but cannot access it. I do have hal, dbus and
mediamanager
running.

If I add an fstab entry for /dev/sda2 with suitable (user) options this
problem goes away, but I would like to refer to a more ipod-specific
device:
/dev/disk/by-label/IPOD

How do I do this?

Thanks
David
