I totally fail to understand that last statement. I've just used the example 82-cdrom.rules text (so, a different filename on the first line, then copy-and-paste for the content), with an unquoted EOF to finish. On the screen, we have backslashes to break the text up, in the rule we have a single line per rule, just like every other udev rule I've ever seen. Or are you saying that putting a backslash into a rule and continuing it across a second line actually works ?
