I've set the "comment=managed" now in the fdi, it's all set, now when i remove 
the ipod by ejecting it says ok to remove and all that fluff, i remove the 
ipod, the line for sda2 remains in fstab, and so the dir in /media remains. 
when i replug the ipod hotplug mounts it using /dev/sdb2 but hal doesn't pick 
up, with the line for sda2 remaining in fstab and so kde's device KIO still 
lists an unmounted scsi disk at sda2 and there's no automagic stuff relating 
to the new plugging in. possibly i'm in need of creating some magic udev 
rules here? problem is when i do exactly the same thing with my girlfriends 
usb mp3 player/pen drive thingy i just unplug, devices disapears and i replug 
and all's splendid...

Any idea on where the problem lies here and what needs fixing/any work 
arounds?
