Altering my /etc/devfsd.conf does not work! After rebooting there are no /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrw devices though I uncommented the following lines:
| Code: |
# Create /dev/cdrom for the first cdrom drive
LOOKUP ^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom1 cdrom
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
# Create /dev/dvd for the second cdrom drive
# (change 'cdroms/cdrom1' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 dvd
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname dvd
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd
# Create /dev/cdrw for the first cdrom on the scsi bus
# (change 'sr0' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^cdrw$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink sr0 cdrw
REGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrw
UNREGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrw
|
It's not that tragically because I can mount my drives through /dev/cdroms/cdrom[0,1] but It would be nice to have these links. |

It looks like you just uncommented the various example lines, unless you have 1 cdrom drive, 1 DVD drive and a SCSI cd burner  .
I only have one device (cd/dvd/cdr combo) on /dev/hdc and here's what mine looks like.
# Create /dev/cdrom for the first cdrom drive
LOOKUP ^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
# Create /dev/dvd for the second cdrom drive
# (change 'cdroms/cdrom1' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 dvd
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname dvd
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd
# Create /dev/cdrw for the first cdrom on the scsi bus
# (change 'sr0' to suite your setup)
#LOOKUP ^cdrw$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink sr0 cdrw
#REGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrw
#UNREGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrw |

Actually I have an IDE burner and an IDE DVD ... I'm not that stupid ... 
I use SCSI emulation for the burner so /dev/sr0 is correct but I also use /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 to mount CDs with my burner ... |

On my system my cdrw is on sg0 not sr0. I have an IDE interface CDRW though, so don't know if this helps.

You don't have to reboot to make devfsd re-read the its config file. Simply run: | Code: | | killall -HUP devfsd |
That should make testing your new config file a little quicker.

Thank you. Just found out about this one, too
Btw, now there are /dev/cdrw and /dev/dvd ... Maybe I was just too blind to see them?  |
