Hi All,
sometimes I load a scsi cd-rw at boot. It's always loaded as /dev/hdc. I have a coupla Qs about permissions etc. When it's loaded each time, does the file /dev/hdc permissions get altered each time.? I ask this, because, 2 dys ago, I changed the permissions of the file to 666, so as to allow K3b to burn in root mode. This is because the burn process stops mid burn with a 254 error stating cdrecord is not being run with root priviliges. But, the permissions are back as 600 today. I would have thought the file's permissions stay changed despite the loading or not of a block device to that file.? Am I wrong..?
Hi All,
just to delve into this a little more; what are the default udev permissions/ownership for /dev/hdc /dev/scd0.? I get the following,
[root@localhost dev]# ls -alh hdc scd0 brw------- 1 coolboarderguy disk 22, 0 Mar 9 2005 hdc brw------- 1 coolboarderguy disk 11, 0 Mar 9 2005 scd0
Shouldn't they be owned by root..? If no, then I get problems with cdrecorder/K3b. Burning stops mid-burn and gives the 254 error saying that cdrecorder is not with root priviliges. Little confused. Cheers.
