This isn't correct the larger partition should be either FAT32 or HFS+, depending on if it was restored in Windows or a Mac. dev/sdi2, on the other hand, was also an unknown filesystem, and was the rest of the volume's capacity. dev/sdi1 was approximately 100MB big, which is correct, and is an unknown filesystem, which is also correct this is the iPod firmware partition. Evoking 'fdisk -l' in the terminal showed me that the drive (let's call it /dev/sdi for convenience's sake) had two partitions: '/dev/sdi1' and '/dev/sdi2'. Removing the mSATA drive from the adapter and putting it into an enclosure to examine in GParted revealed that the drive had an 'Unknown' filesystem on its primary partition.Related to the first point above, I could install Rockbox on the iPod, but then on startup, the bootloader would scream about not being able to find a FAT32 volume.If I tried formatting the partition as FAT32, the iPod's firmware would complain and ask me to restore it again, even if I backup its folders beforehand. Restoring the device in iTunes wasn't an issue, but the device never showed up afterwards as a proper FAT32 volume on my Linux desktop.Some of the issues I've experienced include: While installation isn't so bad, I've had nothing but pain and suffering trying to get Rockbox working on this combination.
