The thing is, with hisax-drivers the device behaves normal. With capidrv ( a driver for capibased driver to run isdn4linux ) only (as you said) the copy behaves correct.

[Cooker] Devfs problem
Hi list, I have problems with latest (or should I say any) version of devfs. I have two CDROMs, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd Without devfs, everything works well. When devfs is enabled, though, I cannot mount or access the second CDROM. Devfs reports mu CDROMs as /dev/cdrom1, /dev/cdrom2, but when I try to mount the cdrom2, it always tries to mount cdrom1 (or /dev/hdc). The same goes for /dev/cdrom3 .. /dev/cdrom6 (I don't have anything like this installed) - always accessing /dev/cdrom1 (dev/hdc) ! BTW, /dev/cdrom link is broken altogether (points to '../cdroms/cdrom0' instead of 'cdroms/cdrom0)'! Details: Mandrake 8.1 devfsd-1.3.18-17mdk kernel 2.4.16-5 (occurs on 2.4.8-26 and 2.4.13-8 as well, so I don't think this matters) The CDROMs are: Plextor 16/10/40A (dev/hdc) NEC DV-5800A Also, SCSI IDE emulation is broken. On my system with devfs enabled (as opposed to disabled), I cannot: - burn CD-ROMS (broken SCSI emulation, works with devfs disabled) - watch DVDs (cannot access /dev/hdd DVD) PS: /etc/fstab is correct, I can do all of the above with devfs disabled.

Comment out the last three of the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (here already commented) if [ -c /dev/.devfsd ]; then if [ -x /sbin/devfsd ]; then # copy /lib/dev-state before starting devfsd to avoid accidentally # triggering devfsd actions (like module loading) #if [ -d /lib/dev-state ]; then # cp -af /lib/dev-state/* /dev /dev/null 21 #fi and configure /etc/devfsd.conf to create any persistent links you need. Bug mandrake to release new devfs/devfsd that should make management of persistent links easier.

On my system with devfs enabled (as opposed to disabled), I cannot: - burn CD-ROMS (broken SCSI emulation, works with devfs disabled) Should work after the above step. - watch DVDs (cannot access /dev/hdd DVD) Details please. If hdd is ide-scsi'd it is normal. -andrej
