mounting iphone/ipod/ipad from command line in linux

[acollins at icsmail.net]

Hi.  If you have an I device already mounted, then as root, you should
be able to type mount, with out any other arguments, and see a list of
devices, and the directories they are mounted on.  If you are trying to
discover what device name has been assigned to your device after you
have connected it, and turned it on, then dmesg | tail should give you
the last 10 lines of kernel messages, which should show you the assigned
device name of your I device.

Hope this helps.
