The actual devices (/dev/hdc on my box) are created correctly, but the
symlinks are incorrect if one has multiple CD/DVD drives. Therefore,
the bug is rightly an LFS one. Now, with the observation that the
underlying devices (e.g. /dev/hdc) are created correctly I'd propose
that we simply remove the symlink rule from the rules file (lines 3-6)
and close the ticket. If folks want to create symlinks for their CD/DVD
drives there are various examples in the Udev tarball of rules that will
do so. How's that sound?
IMO, it needs to be in _one_ of the books. BLFS software, at least at
one time, required various symlinks. Other software beyond BLFS I know
still requires /dev/dvd. cdrom_id does a nice job I am told. If it
isn't covered in LFS, then need to open a ticket on it in BLFS and
verify that the multimedia and cdwriting software will use the hd*
device names.
