Yes, this would create soft link to /dev/sr1 and satisfy your application. And so on...
These links might disappear at some point, but that would be easy to solve, if it works for you.

I assume it would need to point /dev/sg* to /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 (my optical drives). ls -la /dev/sg* crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 0 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg0 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 1 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg1 crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 2 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg2 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 3 Jan 23 16:33 /dev/sg3 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 4 Jan 23 16:34 /dev/sg4 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 21, 5 Jan 26 23:00 /dev/sg5 I note that the /dev folder has sx zero byte files for sg0 - 5, plus zero byte sr0 and sr1. I assume the syntax should be ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/sr0, and ln -s /dev/sg2 /dev/sr1, right? Or do I have that backwards? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
