It looks like you changed where the the drive was plugged in. I
guess my explanation left something to be desired. I should have
provided an example to make it clear what I was talking about. In
any case, you can change it as shown below.
Change it to:
# more /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_cd_rules
# program, probably run by the cd-aliases-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line
# and set the $GENERATED variable.
# DVD_RW_ND-3520A (pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0)
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0",
SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0",
SYMLINK+="cdrom0", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0",
SYMLINK+="cdrw0", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0",
SYMLINK+="dvd0", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:1:0",
SYMLINK+="dvdrw0", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
You will have to remove the line wrap cause by the long lines. I put
a blank line between rules to make that easier. One of the comments
is also wrapped, but that is easy to see. Do you understand the
change I was talking about?
Thanks, Mikkel. You have solved the problem with the above
/lib/udev/write_cd_rules file.
I also thank Aaron for his contribution.
