iPod only mounts read-only

If you look at dmesg you might notice an error like HFS+-fs warning: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfsplus is recommended. mounting read-only. This means that the HFS filesystem on the iPod has been marked as inconsistent. To mark the filesystem as consistent again, mount and then unmount it using the HFS tools (hpmount /dev/sda; hpumount).

Consistent Mounting

Each time you plug the ipod in, potentially you get a different mount point. To solve this see Chapter 60
