iPod: Operating System or iTunes reports the disk is full, but it does not look full

This document explains why iTunes or the operating system may indicate that the iPod disk is full when it doesn't look full. There is no available space on the iPod hard disk when it is used as an external FireWire or USB hard drive, yet the disk looks like it is empty or only has a few files on it. iTunes cannot copy any songs to iPod even though it says the music library is less then the iPod drive capacity.

NAME
gtkpod - GTK2 based software for managing songs and playlists on an Apple iPod SYNOPSIS
gtkpod [-h] [-m path] [-p filename] [--hash filename] DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly describes the gtkpod command. OPTIONS
gtkpod supports the following options: -h, --help Displays the help message. -m, --mountpoint path Define the mountpoint of your iPod. -p filename Increment playcount for file filename by one. --hash filename Print gtkpod hash for file filename. FILES
~/.gtkpod/prefs Per user configuration file. Should normally only updated through the program itself. /etc/gtkpod/prefs Global configuration file. Used if no configuration file exist for the user starting gtkpod. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.in If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it at startup This is done before attempting to mount the iPod directory (optional) or read the iTunesDB (optional). ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.out If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it while exiting the program. This is done after attempting to unmount the iPod directory (optional) and sending the "eject" command to the iPod (optional). /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.in, /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.out Used instead of the per user scripts if the former ones don't exist and these do. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.load If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it before loading the contents of an iPod with the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line argument. Put any commands needed to access the iPod here, for example if you need to mount the iPod manually. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.eject If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it when ejecting an iPod with the the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line argument. Put any commands you want to execute after gtkpod has written the changes to the iPod here. For example: sudo eject $1 gtkpod will not attempt to do any magic of it's own to mount/unmount/eject the iPod. AUTHOR
