Bug 73208 – udev: wrong rules prevent cdsymlinks.sh working

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nobody 2004-12-03 03:20:39 UTC]

in /etc/udev/50-udev.rules:

# cdrom symlinks and other good cdrom naming
BUS="ide",  KERNEL="hd[a-z]",  PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sr[a-z]",  PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"
BUS="scsi", KERNEL="scd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"

as state in cdsymlinks.sh this should be:
# Usage:
# BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"
# BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sr[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"
# BUS="scsi", KERNEL="scd[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh %k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"

in my system, scsi cdrom are named by kernel as "sr0", "sr1"... and not "sra", "srb"...



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. nano /etc/udev/cdsymlinks.conf and activate OUTPUT=...
2. using udev with scsi cdrom devices
3.

Actual Results:  
scsi cdroms symlinks:
sr0, sr1...

Expected Results:  
scsi cdroms sysmlinks:
cdrom, cdrom1...

and in log file:

Dec  3 12:05:50 [kernel] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 16x/40x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Dec  3 12:05:50 [udev] configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules' at

Good catch, will be fixed in next release.
