In /dev cdrom4, cdrw4, dvd4 and dvdrw4 all point to sr1 and cdrom6, cdrw6, dvd6 and dvdrw6 all point to sr0
I just replaced a dying motherboard - the ethernet circuit failed - and on boot up found the above soft links. Perhaps this was changed in a recent dist-upgrade and I only now noticed the changes. Either way my /dev/fstab file was out of date as it contained entries like /dev/sca1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 so my dvdrw drives were not found. In trying to identify the problem I found /dev/disk/by-name reported the name of the cd in the drive. /dev/bus contains a usb directory. Previously there was a directory in /dev which would list the hard drives in a directory by-uuid but I can't find this anymore. Having found all this I have made changes in /etc/fstab and cdplay -d /dev/sr0 will play a cd but there is no sound. The sound system works, an online video with sound plays perfectly. Question: What are the best practice /etc/fstab entries given the changes in /dev? Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
