CD Symlinks Solution Idea

[Jim Gifford <maillist@jg555.com>]

I know a lot of people have been trying to figure out the cdrom sylinks 
issue. I think I've come up with a simple solution, if anyone see's any 
limitations or issues let me know.

Rules for symlinks

# check cdrom helper
BUS="ide",     KERNEL="hd[a-z]", ACTION="add", IMPORT="cdrom_id 
--export $tempnode"
BUS="scsi",    KERNEL="sr[0-9]*", ACTION="add", IMPORT="cdrom_id 
--export $tempnode"
BUS="scsi",    KERNEL="scd[a-z]", ACTION="add", IMPORT="cdrom_id 
--export $tempnode"
BUS="scsi",    KERNEL="sg[0-9]*", ACTION="add", DRIVER="sr", 
GROUP="cdrom"

BUS="ide", ENV{ID_CDROM}="?*",        PROGRAM="cdsymlink_helper.sh 
%k", SYMLINK+="cdrom%c", GROUP="cdrom"
BUS="ide", ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_R}="?*",   PROGRAM="cdsymlink_helper.sh 
%k", SYMLINK+="cdr%c"
BUS="ide", ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_RW}="?*",  PROGRAM="cdsymlink_helper.sh 
%k", SYMLINK+="cdrw%c"
BUS="ide", ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD}="?*",    PROGRAM="cdsymlink_helper.sh 
%k", SYMLINK+="dvd%c"
BUS="ide", ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD_R}="?*",  PROGRAM="cdsymlink_helper.sh 
%k", SYMLINK+="dvdrw%c"

BUS="scsi", ENV{ID_CDROM}="?*",       SYMLINK+="cdrom%n", GROUP="cdrom"
BUS="scsi", ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_R}="?*",  SYMLINK+="cdr%n"
BUS="scsi", ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_RW}="?*", SYMLINK+="cdrw%n"
BUS="scsi", ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD}="?*",   SYMLINK+="dvd%n"
BUS="scsi", ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD_R}="?*", SYMLINK+="dvdrw%n"

A small program in /lib/udev called cdsymlinks.sh this program is for 
IDE only a different solution

Begin of file----
#!/bin/sh
KERN_NAME="$1"

if [ "$KERN_NAME" = "" ]; then
        mesg Bad invocation: \$1 is not set
        exit 1
fi

FILES="`ls /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-cdrom | grep 1.`"
        for file in $FILES; do
                TEST="`ls /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-cdrom/$file | grep -c 
$KERN_NAME`"
                if [ "$TEST" = "1" ]; then
                        link="`echo $file | cut -f2 -d.`"
                        echo $link
                fi
        done
End of file---
