Public bug reported: Hi I have 2 Optiarc DVD Drives (DVD RW AD-7280S) connected to a SiI 3114 controller. At boot they both show op. When running Mint (Nadia), I can access them as /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 respectively. But the second drive has no symlinks cd /dev ll | grep 'sr[01]' yields only cdrom -> sr0 cdrw -> sr0 dvd -> sr0 and dvdrw -> sr0 sr0 sr1
cd disk/by-id/ ll | grep 'sr[01]' yields ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S -> ../../sr0 cd disk/by-path/ ll | grep 'sr[01]' yields pci-0000:05:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0 When I connect one DVD drive to a different SATA controller, this changes to (nearly) what one expects. cd /dev ll | grep 'sr[01]' yields cdrom -> sr0 cdrw -> sr0 dvd -> sr0 and dvdrw -> sr0 cdrom1 -> sr1 cdrw1 -> sr1 dvd1 -> sr1 and dvdrw1 -> sr1 sr0 sr1 cd disk/by-id/ ll | grep 'sr[01]' still yields only ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S -> ../../sr0 cd disk/by-path/ ll | grep 'sr[01]' yields pci-0000:05:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0 pci-0000:04:05.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr1 Obviously the 2 DVD drives interfere with each other, when on the same controller. Is this caused by 1. ata-Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-7280S not having something unique (a serialnr) in its name? Like in SAMSUNG_HD103SJS246JD1B2050 a. would this mean a bug in the (udev?) naming scheme? 2. or is the SiI 3114 controller the culprit?
