I guess with "empty" you mean "absent" (cdrom_id will never print empty variables, it's either a positive number or not printed at all). But for an udev rule, empty and absent are pretty much the same, I suppose. However, it means that with the current cdrom_id code you cannot distinguish "no cd" from "blank cd" anyway. > I think you need to prove that your suggested value has the same > semantics. > > I do not think it does. Within the currently exposed behaviour it does have the same semantics (barring the problem of uninitialized track counts, which causes this bug, of course). If you say that the currently exposed cdrom_id values are wrong, then let's fix those instead, of course.
