I'm curious as to why a handful of /dev/ entries seem to be pointing to the same device - notably, to hdc, which is my DVD burner. See here: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 18 05:29 cdrom -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 18 05:29 cdrw -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 18 05:29 dvd -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 18 05:29 dvdrw -> hdc brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Feb 15 12:55 hdc And here is the dmesg spam: hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 8 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 12 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 16 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 20 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 24 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 28 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 32 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 36 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 40 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 44 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 48 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 52 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 56 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 60 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 hdc: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4 cdrom: open failed. Is there some sort of conflict over devices here? I've never seen this type of idle activity before. How can I get the /dev/ directory and/or my system to only recognize one /dev/ entry as my DVD-RW, ala hdc? Thanks! -- Han Solo: Oh!
