like "set permission on /dev/sg0". I want to be able to say to anyone what steps to take to find what is the case for his/her system and then say how to apply that information. It seems that the SCSI controller permission has to be set but how do I know what is the SCSI device? or in general, what is the device for any kind of controller? What would be the steps I do to find the relationship between pieces of hardware and their place in the /dev tree? I believe this is very important in making the FAQ much more universal. I see that YaST can provide a really nice list of hardware with lots of information about the hardware but as far as I can see it doesn't tell me that my Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI card is /dev/sg0.
Now as far as I know the order is based on which module is loaded first and not only limiting the module but also the hardware addressing. Now with your case AHA2940 is a SCSI card and it can not be /dev/sgX where X is a number. On the otherhand devices you attach to this scsi card will be assigned to respective /dev/sgX based on the above hardware addressing resource usage etc. I know this is not the full answer but should give you a starting point. What I do with scanners and cdwriters is I chown them to root.disk and I add the user in to this group group disk has read wrire permission to the device -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
