Ipod 5G No files

Use the device node, not the mount point.

It should be /dev/something.

Mount your iPod, then type "mount" and it will tell you which device /media/DEEZ is.  Make sure to unmount the iPod before doing the fsck.vfat command, like so:
"sudo umount /dev/something"

EDIT: Yes, unzipping to the player is the way to install it.  If there was a new boot loader released since your last version of Rockbox, you also have to reinstall the boot loader.  I can't seem to find information on when the last boot loader was released, but it must have been 6 months to a year ago.

Alright, thanks for the help cool walking...

dennis@Delphi:~$ sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sda2
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Reclaimed 276 unused clusters (4521984 bytes).
Free cluster summary wrong (226598 vs. really 226850)
1) Correct
2) Don't correct
? 1
Leaving file system unchanged.
/dev/sda2: 5959 files, 1597640/1824490 clusters

As you can see I tried to correct the errors by pressing 1 but that did nothing for me.  

cool_walking_:
Use the "-a" and "-t" switches, like so:

--- Code: ---sudo fsck.vfat -a -t /dev/sda2
--- End code ---
or if you're like me and try to save as many keystrokes as possible:

--- Code: ---sudo fsck.vfat -at /dev/sda2
--- End code ---
FYI, not all programs support merging switches together like this, but fsck.vfat (AKA dosfsck) does.

deez:
Ran the command 15 minutes ago and I've gotten no output in the terminal screen.....

cool_walking_:
Yep, that's supposed to happen. The bigger the disk and the more errors found, the longer it takes.  I think you should get output if it finds errors, though.
