Hi, I was reading the scsi howto earlier today and ran across something you may wish to pursue.... It indicated that if you were running scsiide that there is a scsi.alias file in /etc that you can use to creatively rename the scsiide name (/dev/scsi/sr0xxxxxx) where the x's are the host adapter, target, lun, etc. I remembered this email at the time and had to locate it here at home in order to reply to it. I found the howto on linuxjournal.com. Hope this helps.

Don't know if anyone has tried this with Cdrw drives, but here goes. I have not tested /dev/sr0 yet to see if I can mount the device using this file, but could I possibly create a link called cdr thatwill interface to 0,0,0? These are the coordinates that cdrecord uses to access my burner. I was thinking this just because then I could make sure that the device is going to work. Also, then put an entry in fstab, make it rw, then I can just mv stuff from the disk to Cd without using cdrecord? Is this actually possible? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
