Making more use of my iPod on Solaris
Ok, so here's something I only just realised.
For some time now it's been annoying me that whenever I plug my iPod into any of my Solaris hosts, I get the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" logo, with the data-transfer spinwheel icon active in the top left of the window.
And of course vold is running. But if you then eject the removable disk that vold has mounted, you can then use the USB port to merely charge your iPod while you listen to its contents using your headphones.
How fiendishly simple.
