Or is the documentation found in linux-2.4.0-test10/Documentation/filesystems/devfs/README out-of-date or wrong? Disc Devices All discs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the /dev/discs hierarchy: /dev/discs/disc0 first disc /dev/discs/disc1 second disc Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the directory for that device. The device directory contains: disc for the whole disc part* for individual partitions CD-ROM Devices All CD-ROMs, whether SCSI, IDE or whatever, are placed under the /dev/cdroms hierarchy: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 first CD-ROM /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 second CD-ROM Each of these entries is a symbolic link to the real device entry for that device. So, on my system, I have: lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jan 1 1970 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jan 1 1970 /dev/discs/disc0 -> ../ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/ lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jan 1 1970 /dev/discs/disc1 -> ../ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/ lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Jan 1 1970 /dev/discs/disc2 -> ../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/ IMHO using the value on the left is much more straight forward then using the value on the right. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
