I've succeeded to use the UMS firmware with the iRiver IFP 180T in =
Gentoo Linux.  What I had to do was, after formatting with the latest =
UMS firmware in Windows, I mounted the device with the msdos type such =
that:

mount -t msdos /dev/sda /mnt/ums

(Make sure to have created the /mnt/ums directory)

Now you can transfer files as if it was local.  Note that I had some =
difficulty transferring long file names to the device.  It would reject =
them for some reason.  Normally how I would copy something was as =
follows:

cp /home/user/my\ long\ name\ song.mp3 /mnt/ums/short.mp3

This shortens the name and the device will accept and play the song. =20

Subject: [Ifp-driver-common] Can't use UMS firmware with Linux

I can't mount my IFP 180T (firmware 1.0e) under my Linux (RH 9.0,
2.4.20-18.9).
It has been formatted under Windows and works well under it.

When I mount :

[root@prosper root]# mount /dev/sda /mnt
/dev/sda: Input/output error
[root@prosper root]#=20

Here is how fdisk sees the IFP :

# fdisk -l /dev/sda
