If I try to mount it as hfsplus or vfat I get an error like:

missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
This is not really surprising, since this message...
dmesg | tail shows:

Cannot find an answer in the docs, any help appreciated!
Try to mount sdb1 and/or sdb2 and show the results.

of course, you caught me sleeping ... but I am still not sure what
filetype to specify
peter:/home/peter# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ipod/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
peter:/home/peter# dmesg | tail

sdb: sdb1 sdb2
