Bonjour,
I post again my problem: on my f12 install I have a problem with symlink /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrw, /dev/dvdrw which all exist *until I insert a disk in the device*, as soon as the disk is mounted, these links are erased and don't come back untill the next boot.
I would like to know if anybody else experienced the same problem and I am searching a clue to solve this problem.
I suspect HAL or udev, but don't know how to search.
I have a fully updated fedora 12
Thanks for attention.
What you describe sounds like a udev problem. It is udev that is responsible for creating the devices.
Thanks for answering.
udev is responsible for creating, but hal is responsible for hotplugging.... So....
I tried to use debugging with hal, but I did not see anything suspect (I can be wrong, because I am not an expert...)
I tried to debug udev too, but this is almost impossible: logs go on console at boot time, and are unreadable....
I have no brilliant solution but it sounds like for some reason udev decides that those /dev files are not needed when confronted with an inserted. Now one question. Are you inserting data CDs or music or video CDs? Only data CDs are mounted. Are you somehow trying to mount a music CD?
No, I don't try to mount music CD, video DVD are automatically mounted and it is during this phase that the links are erased.
No non-data CDs arwe not mounted in the usual sense. You see the icon on the screen but running mount command will not find them mounted.
