Hello,
I have FC3 installed and notice that, although FC3 mounts a cdrom when inserted into my cdrom reader/writer, it complains when I try to eject it : eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'
[jfl@ws8 ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Dec 1 19:28 /dev/hdc
So I have changed the permissions : [jfl@ws8 ~]$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 22, 0 Dec 1 19:28 /dev/hdc and now things seem to work.
Yet I have read that the /dev directory is now dynamically populated,
somehow.
Under what conditions is the /dev directory dynamically populated? Will I have to reset permissions in the future?
Thanks for any light you might shed on this phenomenon.
I believe that there was a program that was upgraded that removed this behavior. Is your system upgraded to the latest available upgrades? I am thinking that it was udev, but not sure as to the specific component containing the fix.
Jim
