Comment 11 for bug 734883

I'm receiving the same error with my 16 GB nano with Ubuntu 11.04 (did not have issues with 10.04 Netbook Remix), except it's on /dev/sdb2, whether or not that's relevant. I thought it might be issues with the Disk Manager, as I'm on an Acer AspireOne netbook, and there's a bug where the SD card reader won't mount a card and throws up some errors unless I mount it manually through the terminal.

No one's mentioned this bit, so:

When it's plugged into the USB, the iPod screen reads "Connected." The error message comes up saying bad superblock etc., and the iPod thinks it is still connected. The only way I've found to disconnect is to go into Disk Manager and manually hit "power down this drive." Of course, that stops everything in and out of that port and so the iPod no longer charges. Is there at least any other way to disconnect it, so I can charge it but not have to go in through Disk Manager every time I want to unplug it?
