From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Robby Workman Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 05:09:33 +0000 Subject: Two issues - cdrom_id and duplicate /sys entries Message-Id: <4634288D.9000900@rlworkman.net> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org First, it seems that /lib/udev/cdrom_id is not exporting correct information about the capabilities of optical media drives. This system contains a Lite-On combo cd writer / dvd reader and an NEC dvd writer drive, but the cdrom_id binary returns this for each of them: root@isotope:/lib/udev# ./cdrom_id --export /dev/sr{0,1,2,3} ID_CDROM=1 See http://rlworkman.net/attr-walk/ for the udevinfo attribute walks on each of the devices. Of course, this brings up the second issue: there are only two optical drives in this box, and there are four devices created. 0 and 2 are essentially "mirrors" of one another, as are 1 and 3. Interestingly enough, after dumping the udevinfo output to the files linked above, sr1 and sr3 show different sizes, even though they are the same drive. A diff of the respective files shows a few more things that are different, but none as strange as the size difference... :/ bash-3.2$ grep size sr?-attributes sr0-attributes: ATTR{size}="2097151" sr1-attributes: ATTR{size}="4" sr2-attributes: ATTR{size}="2097151" sr3-attributes: ATTR{size}="9143552" Ideas? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
