This patch worked for me. I was trying to mount an iPod freshly restored on a Mac, and I was getting the same "bad superblock" errors people had mentioned above. After installing Seth's patch in #42 the iPod was mountable. Out of curiosity I reverted back to the latest kernel and the errors came back. Thanks for your hard work!

Other notes for those who try this:

- After restoring the iPod, you need to type the following at a Mac terminal or the iPod will be read-only:

     diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/<device name>

- Banshee 2.0.1 now gives me errors when trying to write to this iPod, but Rhythmbox 0.13 works fine. Need to investigate this further.
