I might try that in the morning.
First I am going to try a different FireWire card, since I know of at  
least one other person with a mini who uses it in Fedora at least  
without reporting this problem - my FireWire is onboard A7N8X deluxe  
which I know was quirky before (module would load but not work) so  
maybe the driver in Linux isn't properly disconnecting - I have a  
Belkin card in a dead Beige G3 that I will try tomorrow and see if that  
works better.

Thanks!

I'll definitely look at that tomorrow as well.

I don't _want_ it mounting in /media even if trying a new card does  
resolve my issue with the disconnect - I want to use autofs because  
it's trivial with autofs to only permit certain users to mount (specify  
a group that is allowed to) - and then let gtkpod take care of the  
mounting when it launches and unmounting when it exits. And if I just  
want to charge the ipod, it doesn't need to mount at all.
