It does have some bugs though. I get the Camera mounted 6 times, and the phone filesystem mounted twice (as iPhone and as iphone___)

I can't unmount them unless I'm root, and most importantly, noting I add to the phone filesystem shows up on the phone, I'll still have to jailbreak it to make the bloody phone usable.

I know it doesn't help much in your case, but I wonder if these libraries will make it easier to jailbreak the iPhone from within Linux? Every few months I put together a temporary Windows machine to do the dirty deed, that'd save me a few steps.

No they don't, they make it harder. At least in this case. I downloaded Redsn0w08 for Linux, and couldn't get it to jailbreak my phone until I uninstalled iFuse.

With a bit of work they sould be very good, though.

Hopefully you're not sacrificing actual hardware for that. I'd build a virtual peecee for the task - virtualbox comes in quite handy in such cases.

hmm - it must be wanting to poke registers and/or I/O ports or something...
