It'll take a bit, but I'll start on it. (Actually I'll start at the end and work backwards, in case anybody else is starting at the beginning.) For reference, to see your devices in a format that can be compared to the list fairly easily, you can: ls -l /dev | grep ^[bc] | sort -s -k 5,5n -k 1.1,1.1 -k 6,6n but of course that doesn't show devices in subdirectories of /dev, and it only shows devices that your system supports. > I notice this: > > The prefix /dev/sr (instead of /dev/scd) has been deprecated. Yeah, we should probably fix that one, at least. OTOH, if the user uses persistent names, they won't need to use sr* or scd*. Oh well, it should still be corrected. > I also noticed that most of my devices in /dev/pts have the tape > group instead of tty. Anyone else notice this? Mine all have my user's primary GID. That's odd. OTOH, /dev/pts isn't handled by udev either, it's handled by the devpts filesystem. According to the grantpt(3) manpage, the GID of the slave device isn't specified in any standard; it may just be that your devpts decides to use the tape group for some crazy reason. tape isn't your user's primary GID, is it? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGbyckS5vET1Wea5wRAzisAJ4+zqFe4n3g5vMAbdeYWlvWlhhKhwCfWbYh r92Zmku2M7JvB+zlo4quqS0= =d+bk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
