Hi folks!
After adding a scsi adapter to my existing gentoo system i got the stuff finally working. But now I have problems with the drive arrangement under devfsd. Before the installation /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 was my ide 40x cdrom and the symlink from /dev/cdrom pointed to it.
Now /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is my scsi burner (host0, bus0, target3, lun0) and things get messed up... 
What I want: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 should be again my old ide drive and the scsi burner should be recognized as /dev/cdroms/cdrom1
I was googling around and checking also man devfsd.conf but there were no good examples (maybe I'm too stupid to understand that). Does anybody know what I have to add to the devfs.conf ?
This is currently what I have in devfsd.conf:
| Code: |
# 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

You can try this:
| Code: |
LOOKUP ^cdrecorder$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrecorder
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrecorder
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrecorder
LOOKUP ^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom1 cdrom
REGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER ^cdrom/cdrom1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
|
I think that after that your burner will be /dev/cdrecorder and your cdrom, /dev/cdrom
(Please try and tell me if I'm wrong!  |

Thanks lunatc!
How could I be so stupid...it was just a typo (is this also in the default file?) that messed all things up.
| Code: |
# Create /dev/cdrom for the first cdrom drive
LOOKUP ^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
|
As you can see from my working code above it should be in the second and third row ^cdroms and not ^cdrom - now the symlinks are working perfectly.
There is no /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 in my situation, although this should be (..?), so I adressed the burner directly by:
| Code: |
# 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
