Archaic and all I came around an interesting way to fix the cd-symlink
issue, without having to use the script that is in LFS.org repo. Just
passing on the information I just learned hopefully it will be useful to
someone. These new rules are in the udev-cross-lfs packages as of today,
if you want to test them out.
NAK: racy. The helper script assumes that new devices don't appear in /sys
during operation.
Also in SVN, you have:
while [ $test -lt 1 ] ; do
if [ -e /dev/cdrom$link ]; then
link=$[$link+1]
else
test=1
echo $link
fi
done
This is basically a reimplementation of the old "%e" escape that was
deliberately removed because it is unreliable. The order in which udev processes
uevents is undefined, thus, in some cases, hdd will be handled before hdb, and
in other cases, the order will be the opposite. Thus, /dev/cdrom will point to a
random CD-ROM.
