hi; I upgraded to udev-070 recently (and now to udev-070-rc1). Since then, I can't mount /mnt/cdrom properly. Before, my /dev directory had a /dev/hdb, as well as /dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2 .... . Now, it only has /dev/hdb1, /dev/hdb2, but /dev/hdb is no longer there. I still don't understand how udev works; I read the guide on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml but it didn't help. I've read also a guide at http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html and I craeted the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, which reads as
----------------------- /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules --------- BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdb", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom cdroms/cdrom%n" ------------------------------------------------------------------ But it doesn't help. What I find rather strange is that if I do # mount /mnt/cdrom (my /etc/fstab points /mnt/cdrom to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, which is a symlink to /dev/hdb) I get "device does not exist". But if I try to mount it on hdb1, it seems to create the file /dev/hdb, and now I can mount it: rojo ~ # mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom/ mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist rojo ~ # mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cdrom/ mount: /dev/hdb1 is not a valid block device rojo ~ # mount -tiso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom/ mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only Any help as how to have the node /dev/hdb created at boot in a somewhat clean way is appreciated. Please notice also that at /etc/conf.d/rc I have the line RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" which is also not helping here. Thanks, Matias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
