I'm trying out the latest udev-100-r2 ebuild because the current stable ebuild doesn't do the right thing with /dev symlinks for multiple CD/DVD devices. udev-100-r2 is closer, but not quite: I have two DVD burners. One on /dev/hda and the other on /dev/hdc. The symlinks that udev created are: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 cdrom -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 cdrom1 -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 cdrw -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 cdrw1 -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 dvd -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 dvd1 -> hda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 dvdrw -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 10:26 dvdrw1 -> hda I thought it was odd that dvd*1 went to the hda and the non-numbered dvd* went to hdc. And the cd* nodes all went to hda.
This might be related to bug 128601 as I just rebooted and now my /dev symlinks look like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 cdrom1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 cdrw -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 cdrw1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 dvd -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 dvd1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 dvdrw -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 16 14:06 dvdrw1 -> hdc Everything's pointing to hdc.
If they are pointing to the "wrong" drive, then please edit the auto-generated file, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules that are created for you.
