To reply to my own post -
I think the problem is in /etc/init.d/iscover:
"
# Link /dev/cdromX to all detected CD drives, and create mount points:
CDNUM=1
for CDROM in `discover --device cdrom`
do
if [ ! -e $CDROM ]
then
echo -n "discover reports that $CDROM is the CD-ROM device, but it "
echo "does not exist. Not updating /dev/cdrom$CDNUM."
elif [ ! -b $CDROM ]
then
echo -n "discover reports that $CDROM is the CD-ROM device, but it "
echo "is not a block device. Not updating /dev/cdrom$CDNUM."
elif [ -e /dev/cdrom$CDNUM -a ! -L /dev/cdrom$CDNUM ]
then
echo -n "/dev/cdrom$CDNUM exists and is not a symlink. Not updating "
echo "/dev/cdrom$CDNUM."
CDNUM=`expr $CDNUM + 1`
else
ln -fs $CDROM /dev/cdrom$CDNUM
mkdir /cdrom$CDNUM
CDNUM=`expr $CDNUM + 1`
fi
done
# Link /dev/cdrom to the appropriate device:
if [ -e /dev/cdrom1 ]
then
if [ -L /dev/cdrom -o ! -e /dev/cdrom ]
then
ln -fs /dev/cdrom1 /dev/cdrom
else
echo "/dev/cdrom exists and is not a symlink. Not updating
/dev/cdrom."
fi
else
echo "No CD-ROM drives found."
fi
"
this script is calling /sbin/discover, which returns a list of path names to
devices specified on the command line (in this case "--device cdrom"), but
the list is coming out in "reverse" order, i.e. hdd before hdc. Anyone else
have this problem? Is this a bug?
Cheers,
JP
