which is which it only appeared after running "scsidev" for the first time should I change links to my cdrom &writer? # ls -l /dev/scsi/ totaal 50 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 351 apr 4 21:14 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 51551 apr 4 14:15 .. brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 apr 4 21:01 sdh0-0c0i6l0 brw------- 1 root root 8, 1 apr 4 21:01 sdh0-0c0i6l0p1 brw------- 1 root root 8, 5 apr 4 21:01 sdh0-0c0i6l0p5 brw------- 1 root root 8, 6 apr 4 21:01 sdh0-0c0i6l0p6 brw------- 1 root root 8, 7 apr 4 21:01 sdh0-0c0i6l0p7 crw------- 1 root root 21, 0 apr 4 21:01 sgh0-0c0i3l0 crw------- 1 root root 21, 1 apr 4 21:01 sgh0-0c0i4l0 crw------- 1 root root 21, 2 apr 4 21:01 sgh0-0c0i5l0 crw------- 1 root root 21, 3 apr 4 21:01 sgh0-0c0i6l0 br-------- 1 root root 11, 0 apr 4 21:01 srh0-0c0i3l0 br-------- 1 root root 11, 1 apr 4 21:01 srh0-0c0i4l0
Isn't scsidev used only for devfs? If so and you are not using it doesn't the above means nothing? It would appear from the rest of your posts that you are not using devfs. I think you need to be carefull and start reading some manuals. I'm sure this list can provide you with a start of where to start reading. I've been using scsi for a long time and have never had a need to run that command. I'm not or ever have as yet used devfs so I may be incorrect in my assumption. But appears that you are running amock with your box and need to go back to the basics and regroup. No flame intended here, really. It's just my opinion. Regards Mark
