Notice the 11, 1 (major, minor)? That means that even with different names, the driver is the same one.
You lost me here. This is byond my Linux knowledge. ;-(
Don't assume I know much more! :-) We could say the major is an index to the software driver, and the minor indicates the device. Somewhere else the kernel will know that a write to a device with such a major number will have to be handled by such driver. The driver itself will differentiate the several devices it handles based on the minor number. So, what I know is that the software driver for the sr and scd devices is the same one, that's all - in theory, at least :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
