iPod Classic and iPod Nano 3G, 4G
GodEater:
This is quite interesting, since it's completely different to the fdisk -l output we once had (can someone post it again please?) for the iPod Classic.
Dumping the contents of the two smaller partitions and making them available for download somewhere would be a useful next step to take here.
hdragun:
Yes it is different from the fdisk -l
When i print the fdisk -l on my ipod i get only one partition although it too is interesting.
The following is what I get for fdisk -l for my ipod (/dev/sdb)
--- Code: ---Disk /dev/sdb: 3892 MB, 3892056064 bytes
38 heads, 42 sectors/track, 595 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1596 * 4096 = 6537216 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x20202020
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 596 3800580 b W95 FAT32
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 1, 22)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(59, 37, 42) logical=(595, 13, 42)
--- End code ---
Note that this is not unique to my ipod. I have an identical ipod 3g nano (4Gb) that has a similar (if not identical) fdisk -l
Interestingly when I look at it using gparted it either tells me that it cannot read the fat32 partition or that the whole drive is empty.
As to dumping the two partitions, (1 and 2 on my previous post) i will try but don't get your hopes too high.
I have a dd dump of the entire drive (big at 3.9Gb) that i have done much of my testing on should any one have a big enough internet connection and an ftp server (note that it does have all my music on which makes me reluctant to share it) I will see if i can get an empty dump of the drive.
saratoga:
Copy your music off, put a file on it thats all zeros that takes up your whole free disk space, and then dump it. Should zip down to almost nothing.
hdragun:
the img compresses (gzip) to 2.7Gb i will try to extract the two smaller partitions though (can any one tell me how to mount a raw .img in ubuntu?)
cool_walking_:
--- Code: ---mount -o loop /path/to/image.img /path/to/mountpoint
--- End code ---
should work if image.img is a single filesystem. I don't know about ripping out single partitions from an image of multiple partitions though...
