[ale] iPod mounting

[Jay Loden]

Odd, I've got two iPods (long story), a 40GB and  20GB, and they both work 
under Linux and Windows, on firewire, USB 1.1 or 2.0.

 I've never had it format the iPod for "configuring" even after going back and 
forth between iTunes and gtkpod under Linux. I've also written to it as a 
regular usb drive after mounting it as vfat under Linux or as a USB Mass 
Storage device on Windows.

Maybe your file system was corrupted or something else that caused iTunes to 
think it was unformatted or improperly formatted?
