I wanted to use my ipad to charge my phone so I could tether longer.

I can't tether for long at all now. I wish there was some way to fix it.

If your drive has two partitions that's fine. The entire drive doesn't need to be FAT32 or HFS. Pay close attention to your device list (ls /dev). When I mounted mine, the instructions were to 'mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/EXT'. This didn't work because my partition for FAT32 was actually on /dev/disk1s2. So the correct syntax would now be 'mount -t msdos /dev/disk1s2 /Volumes/EXT'.

I hope this helps. Just run a ls /dev and make sure you are choosing the correct disk and partition.

I am running iPad with os 4.3.2 and have an externally powered iomega 2.5" external drive. It isn't working, hasn't worked since upgrading to 4.2.1....if externally powered drives will work in spite of the voltage cut, why isn't iFile seeing mine?

Ok! I finally got it working again using the above command. Used to, iFile would just automatically mount the drive and it would show up the same as if I put an SD card in the cck. Now I have to mount it manually. A couple questions....

1. What is the command to unmount the drive? Because if I just disconnect it then try to mount it again it says resource busy and keeps saying that until I reboot the iPad, then it will let me mount again.

2. Is there any way to get iFile to mount the drive automatically again when I plug it into the cck?

What you can do with this iPad Camera Connection Kit?
When using it with iPad2 (which is not yet jailbroken).

Just transfer images and videos from SD card or USB device?

Is it possible to transfer to iPad2 documents, pfg files, excel or powerpoints files from external storage (eg. USB flash memory)?

Only image transfer is possible.
You can't import documents without a jail broken device, hence the name 'camera connection kit'.

Thanks! Now it seriously makes me want the jailbreak for iPad2

hoping for a cydia power tweak hack that can revert back the power requirements when it first came with ios 3.++

Does anyone know the command to unmount a hard drive in mobile terminal? Also, how can you save your own commands in the popup menu on the left so you don't have to type long commands in every time?

To unmount the drive the command is 'umount /Volumes/EXT'.
