Why do you think that? The sg device is not the same as scd. sg is a character device. cdrecord needs access to both devices, and I see absolutely no reason that /dev/sg1 shouldn't be owned by the owner of its parent device - which is all my fix does. Before udev, /dev/sg0 was owned by group 'cdrom', while /dev/sg1 was owned by root. Why was that? Because it was known that the sg device needed to be owned by the same group as the CD block device... > > If you're having an actual problem, please file a bug on cdrecord with > more details, as cdrecord is using the wrong device. Scott - _dozens_ of people have reported this. It sure looks as if it affects everybody with a SCSI CD writer. -- derek -- For SCSI CD/DVD writer, scsi_generic device needs to be owned by cdrom https://launchpad.net/bugs/50447 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
