Why then the CD/DVD has different name if it uses the same stack?
Trying to use simple english:
The SCSI storage stack has several "device types". One of them is the "SCSI-Harddrive", another one is the "SCSI-Opticaldisk". [..] They all talk SCSI, but they send different messages. It's a bit like TCP and UDP both using the IP protocol in networking.
(Greg F. could probably explain this much better, but I think my inter- pretation is sufficient to understand the reasoning behind "sr" and "sd".)
Now _I_ understood it while before _I_ only accepted it as the way things are.
