I'm having similar questions from Arch users, so would also be interested in an explanation. Especially, why /dev/srX is not assigned the same group as the corresponding /dev/sgX. On a (possibly) related note: The 'sg' module is no longer loaded explicitly (as of 'rules: do not load sg module'). Why is this no longer needed, and how is it supposed to work? I have heard of problems with missing /dev/sgX devices, but have not yet figured out exactly what the problem was (too many weird things going on).
