I have a CD writer located at '/dev/burner'. It's an IDE drive, but I use ide-scsi to make it look like a SCSI device with bus ID '1,1,0'.
It works fine. I've just always wondered why I have to do 'cdrecord dev=1,1,0 disk.iso' instead of the more obvious 'cdrecord /dev/burner disk.iso'. Surely some part of the kernel knows that /dev/burner is SCSI ID '1,1,0'. I can mount /dev/burner on, say, /cdrom as a read-only mount and it reads CDs with no problem. Can anybody explain this?
