linking to dev cooridinates

[Cecil H. Whitley]

Hi,
I was reading the scsi howto earlier today and ran across something you may
wish to pursue....  It indicated that if you were running scsiide that there
is a scsi.alias file in /etc that you can use to creatively rename the
scsiide name (/dev/scsi/sr0xxxxxx) where the x's are the host adapter,
target, lun, etc.  I remembered this email at the time and had to locate it
here at home in order to reply to it.  I found the howto on
linuxjournal.com.  Hope this helps.
Cecil

Hi all. Don't know if anyone has tried this with Cdrw drives, but here goes.
I have not tested /dev/sr0 yet to see if I can mount the device using this
file, but could I possibly create a link called cdr thatwill interface to
0,0,0? These are the coordinates that cdrecord uses to access my burner. I
was thinking this just because then I could make sure that the device is
going to work. Also, then put an entry in fstab, make it rw, then I can just
mv stuff from the disk to Cd without using cdrecord? Is this actually
possible? Thanks!
