Hi all,
if you have problem mounting your ipod nano on your linux ubuntu, and receive the message "You are not privileged to mount the volume..." here is a little trick to avoid this.
First you have to identify the UUID of your Ipod, to found yhe correct value you need to submit the following command:
$ ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 220 2008-09-09 01:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 2008-09-06 13:25 ..

In my case the correct line is the bolded. You should find the correct inserting and removing the ipod, the new line you see in the list when the ipod is connected is your ipod.
Be sure the directory /media/IPOD exist and you have the priviledge.
You could create the directory submitting the following command:
$ sudo mkdir /media/IPOD
You should also add your user into the group plugdev
$ sudo usermod -a -G plugdev yourusername
You have to modify the fstab adding a new row at the end of file:
UUID=Your_UUID_Here /media/IPOD vfat rw,noauto,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user
in my case:
UUID=7C78-1A23 /media/IPOD vfat rw,noauto,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user
That's all, it should work...
