I have a CD-RW drive in a new Dell that I recently installed 7.1
on, and MDK set up a link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0, not to
/dev/sr0. Both /dev/scd0 and /dev/sr0 exist, but I note that
the owner/groups are carver/disk and root/cdwriter, respectively
(where carver is the current logged in user).
I have not gotten around to burning any CDs yet, but we have
found that it cannot properly read CD-RWs (reads normal CDs, CD-Rs,
and music CDs fine). Could this have something to do with the
device link? The supermount info in fstab refers to /dev/cdrom.
Also, when I just did dmesg, I simply get a bunch of lines like:
sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
followed by
sr0: disc change detected.
So something is strange here--cdrom linked to scd0, but clearly
getting messages related to sr0.
[Also, why is dmesg simply showing me these messages and not
the bootup info that is in /var/log/dmesg. I don't see these
sr0 messages in any log file. Where are they being stored?]
Thanks,
Norm
