#1972: udevtest semi-broken ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: Bryan Kadzban | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by Bryan Kadzban):
Firewire: Never used it myself, but according to http://www.linux1394.org/faq.php#sbp2, it shows up as SCSI, since "All of these devices comply with a standard called SBP-2 (Serial Bus Protocol-2). They are accessed like SCSI devices in Linux since the sbp2 driver is a low-level SCSI provider." However, that page is talking a lot about kernel 2.4, too, so I have a feeling it may be out of date. I'd still assume SCSI though, at least for the moment. cdrom_id: No, it's not immediately useful when looking for which values will be used to ID the device. But it does tell the user which symlink "base" names will be used for the symlinks. Here's the mapping, from udev-105's write_cd_rules script: {{{ ID_CDROM: /dev/cdromX ID_CDROM_{R,RW}: /dev/cdrwX ID_CDROM_DVD: /dev/dvdX ID_CDROM_DVD_{R,RW,RAM}: /dev/dvdrwX }}} (Where "X" means "empty string for the first CD-type device, and 1/2/3/4/etc. for subsequent CD-type devices".) I'm not sure how to mark this up into a table in the book (or whether it's even useful information to give the user), though. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1972#comment:3> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
