"however as the ipod is self-powered"

Except, of course, when it's charging the battery down the USB.

Could that explain the transient nature?

| My 1 gig memory stick is an iPod shuffle. I'd like to use it to
| listen to mp3 files loaded from a Linux machine.
|
| I'm having trouble with it on my AMDK6/400 box under a 2.4.27
| kernel.
|
| It seems to mount and work for a while, but soon after I try to
| copy files to it, I get a;
|
| Filesystem panic (dev 08:01)
|
| ... in /var/log/messages and it remounts itself as read-only.
|
| This makes using it a tad tricky. Does anyone have any iPod/Linux
| experience, or relevant Large USB Flash Memory Thing experience
| that may be brought to bear?
|
| I have had this happen with 0~80 meg of files on it.
|
| It does appear to work as expected on a Windows XP machine, so I
| have doubts about the iPod being the culprit.
|
| Thanks, MC
