The program mtx likes to use /dev/changer as the default tape changer. In the days before udev, we would create the symlink to the relevant scsi device. In my case: ln -s /dev/sg14 /dev/changer In the days of udev, such a link will not survive a reboot. How do I get udev to create the /dev/changer symlink. 50-udev.rules already has a rule to create the /dev/tape symlink with: KERNEL=="nst[0-9]", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="tape%e", MODE="0660" So I could guess the pattern and try adding: KERNEL=="sg14", BUS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="changer", MODE="0660" but I feel unclean. Is hacking on the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules the "right way" to do these things? What happens when the rules get updated. -- Norman Gaywood, Systems Administrator School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia norm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
