Do you have your iPod configured in iTunes with "Enable disk use"? Sounds like Spotlight is trying to index it or something...

I probably do. Thanks to my partial understanding of how the software works, I can guess that `mds_` is Spotlight trying to index my music player, but I wouldn't want to try to explain it to my dad. Software that responds to "eject this" with "no, because f* you" because it is busy creating meta-data is user-hostile.
