/dev/cdrom & /dev/dvd symlinks and udev
Date: Tue Aug 21 2007 - 16:43:09 EDT
I have two dvd drives, hdc is a standard drive and hdd is a cd/dvd writer. The problem is that all the cdrom symlinks always point at /dev/hdd which is not my primary drive. I like cdrw and dvdrw as they are, but would like to have cdrom and dvd to point correctly to hdc. In trying to do this I have followed a number of online howtos but nothing has any effect.
I have tried using 10-local.rules, local.rules, z99.rules without luck. I have also tried a number of entries in these files, including:
SUBSYSTEMS=="ide", KERNELS=="1.0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
and:
KERNEL=="hdc", SUBSYSTEM=="block", SYMLINK+="cdrom"
and a couple of others I cannot even recall right now. I used udevinfo to get the above data, and udevtest would return that the symlinks would be created, but they never were. They continue to point to /dev/hdd apparently regardless of what I do. I have restarted udev with the init.d script and have rebooted, all without any change.
What exactly am I doing wrong here? Is there something I am overlooking? Is there perhaps another rules file which overrules this one and resets or refuses to allow a reset of the symlinks?
Thanks for any help.
