FC3, iPod, automount, eject

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi

I recently bought an iPod, and have it working with FC3 with one slight 
niggle. When I plug it in (USB), it is automounted, and I can transfer 
files with no problems (using gtkpod).  However, once I'm done, if I 
simply unmount it (either with umount, or by right clicking on the 
desktop icon for the ipod), the "Do NOt Disconnect" message remains on 
the iPod. I initially tried using eject as the user I was logged in as 
(non-root), but that doesn't work. BUT, if I log in as root and do eject 
/dev/sda, then the message disappears from the ipod and I can disconnect 
it. So, I'm not too sure where the problem is.

Is it correct to be using automount ?

Should I have an entry in /etc/fstab for the ipod ?

Also, and unrelated, I have left the ipod formatted with apple's HFS 
filesystem. I have read that kernel support for this filesystem can be 
flakey - is this the case?

Thanks,
Jonathan
