Didn't know about 'udevadm control --reload-rules', which might be better in some situations. I've presently got a problem where 'eject -T' stops working after formatting a DVD/RW. A 'udevadm trigger' gets it working again. (From the messages etc. my initial guess is something to do with arrangement of the symlinks, e.g. /dev/sdb being the device, 'eject -T' expects /dev/cdrom 'dvdrw-tools expects /dev/dvdrw) 'udevadm trigger' fixes it \o/ , but seems to mess with usb mounting :( although it's just band aid 'udevadm control --reload-rules' might be the one for (re)adjusting the device symlinks and shouldn't mess with "mtab behaviour" -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
