On two RH6.2 machines with SCSI hard drives, SCSI tape and SCSI CDROMS, I
get output from 'dmesg' consisting of 170 lines of:
"VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0)".
No, I HAVEN'T been popping CDs into and out of the drive.
Following from messages file:
(scsi0:0:5:0) Synchronous at 10.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 8.
Vendor: TOSHIBA Model: CD-ROM XM-5701TA Rev: 3136
Type: CD-ROM
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.56
Checked devices:
[root@ns1 /root]# ls -ls /dev/scd0 /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
ls: /dev/sr0: No such file or directory
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 13 10:07 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
0 brw------- 1 root disk 11, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/scd0
On a RH6.1 machine, with IDE drives, I get 170 lines of:
"VFS: Disk change detected on device ide1(22,0)".
hdc: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273, ATAPI CDROM drive
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 28 07:54 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
0 brw------- 1 125 disk 22, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/hdc
On two other RH6.1 machines, similarly configured to the above, I get the
normal boot messages and no bogus 'disk change' messages from the CDROM.
---
One has:
hdc: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273, ATAPI CDROM drive
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 18 1999 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
0 brw------- 1 root disk 22, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/hdc
The other has:
hdb: MATSHITA CR-581-M, ATAPI CDROM drive
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 4 1999 /dev/cdrom -> hdb
0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 May 5 1998 /dev/hdb
What am I missing here? What could be causing these bogus messages?
Why do I see them on only one of the three similarly configured 6.1 IDE
machines and on both of the 6.2 SCSI machines?
