Any links explaining this situation? I think you sent some the other day, but now I can't find them. > Issue with "more than one CD-ROM" > also exists, but has no clear upstream solution (they say: dynamically > generate rules for persistent CD-ROM naming, but provide no implementation). This is more of a support question, but I'll just lump it in here. Previously you stated that using %e in udev rules is discouraged. I've been using this on my current system without any issues (that I can see) for my two cdrom drives. Is the issue just that you can't be persistent since you don't know which device will be recognized first? Could you point me to any relevant discussions on this situation? Thanks again, Alexander (and Jim, Matt, Bryan, etc.) for keeping up with the hardware/udev/hotplug issues. Since the discussion has filtered down to me in noob-speak, I almost understand what's going on! Plugging in my USB camera is becoming less magical every day. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
