Hmmm, Ok, maybe I've trimmed that trailing "0" from my primary device. Here is how it looks now: $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules # This file maintains persistent names for CD/DVD reader and writer devices. # See udev(7) for syntax. # # Entries are automatically added by the 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules # file; however you are also free to add your own entries provided you # add the ENV{GENERATED}=1 flag to your own rules as well. # DVD-RW_DVR-110D (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0) SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" # CD-RW_CRX195E1 (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0) SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom1", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0- scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw1", ENV{GENERATED}="1" # Virtual_CD_070A (pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:8:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1) SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL} =="WD_Virtual_CD_070A_575837304139393534343636-0:1", SYMLINK+="cdrom2", ENV{GENERATED}="1" >> So I put my *CD* in my *CD drive* an launch asunder the ripper to rip >> it, but nothing happens in asunder.

I believe that /etc/udev/rules.d/70- persistent-cd.rules is automatically generated by the 75-cd-aliases- generator.rules. I hope that I can put those rules in a standalone file which can overwrite settings in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules. BTW, that document is about 5 years old now, and my Debian doesn't have commands like udevtrigger, udevcontrol and udevtest for udev rules testing and debugging and more. What are the equivalents for them?
