Hello, I would like to know what variable is THE variable to point a cdrom is in the drive or not. I've made a udev rule to output all the variables set when a media change. Now look when a drive is ejected. The output: ID_BUS=scsi ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R_DL=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_MODEL=DVD_RW_AD-7170S ID_MODEL_ENC='DVD\x20RW\x20AD-7170S\x20' ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0 ID_REVISION=1.00 ID_SCSI=1 ID_TYPE=cd ID_VENDOR=Optiarc ID_VENDOR_ENC='Optiarc\x20' When it's inserted again: ID_BUS=scsi ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R_DL=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_COUNT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_STATE=complete ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_FS_LABEL=openSUSE-NET-i586-Build0475..001 ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=openSUSE-NET-i586-Build0475..001 ID_FS_TYPE=iso9660 ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem ID_MODEL=DVD_RW_AD-7170S ID_MODEL_ENC='DVD\x20RW\x20AD-7170S\x20' ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0 ID_REVISION=1.00 ID_SCSI=1 ID_TYPE=cd ID_VENDOR=Optiarc ID_VENDOR_ENC='Optiarc\x20' I see the variables ID_FS_*** are set. I can make my scripts look at these to determine the cdrom is in or out. Is this ok? Or do I have to check the parameter ID_CDROM_MEDIA=1? Or something else?
