Hi Camaleón, Thanks for your reply. However, I was having a hard time trying to find what you meant by "Debian udev the docs". All that I found are bit and pieces here and there. Would you be so kind to give me a list to read please? > I would try: > > # DVD-RW_DVR-110D (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0) #SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", > SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" #SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", > SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", > SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1" #SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", > SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1" > > # CD-RW_CRX195E1 (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0) #SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", > SYMLINK+="cdrom1", ENV{GENERATED}="1" #SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", > SYMLINK+="cdrw1", ENV{GENERATED}="1" SUBSYSTEM=="block", > ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", > SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1" > > # Virtual_CD_070A (pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:8:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1) > SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", > ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="WD_Virtual_CD_070A_575837304139393534343636-0:1", > SYMLINK+="cdrom2", ENV{GENERATED}="1" > > That is: > > - From the DVD entries, disable (#) all but the one that makes "dvd" > node. > - From the CD-R entries, disable (#) all and add a new one that makes > "cdrom" node. That looks substantially different from the examples given from http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-cdrom: SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="hdc", SYMLINK+="dvd", GROUP="cdrom" SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="hdd", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", GROUP="cdrom" I guess the above example is already obsolete, or it is still OK? >> Where should I put those rules?

I.e., wouldn't those line that I disabled (by #) would come up again once the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules is regenerated?
