There is no reason to change the default configuration of udev.
I'm reassigning this bug to g-v-m, in the possibility that its
maintainer has something to add.

severity 284492 grave
thank you.

Justification: may encourage ppl to use root to access ide and scsi
devices.

I HAD to patch one of my computers to fix this problem. While I was
changing the ide-devfs.sh I saw that the group(disk,cdrom,floppy) was NOT
set. In scsi-devfs.sh the get_ide_offset uses "/proc/ide/*/media".

These are some farily important problems. I should have a patch some time
today(CST).

Subject: devfs.rules: Don't change NAME into a port(host?/bus?) specific target,
for gvm.

Package: udev
Version: 0.046-5
Severity: normal

Gnome-volume-manager mounts my cds with the REAL device "NAME=". It's good
to see that it's not being set to "hdc" but it's still being set to a
port(host?/bus?) specific name. I subjest that the NAME="%c{2}" since this
will allways be easy to see as a cdrom. Then SYMLINK="%k %c{1}".

gvm will then automount(using pmount) /dev/cdroms/cdrom? on
/media/cdroms_cdrom?. Any reason why this can't be "cdroms_?" like
"floppy_0"? You could think ahead and make NAME="%c{3}" (c{3} =
cdroms/%n) and have SYMLINK="%k %c{1} %c{2}".

Are you just guess that it will behave that way, or does it really behave that
way? The current unstable hal and g-v-m shouldn't (They check
volume.policy.desired_mount_point).

If it was just a guess, please close this bug.. Otherwise i need a lot more
info :)

thank you.

This should fix about 3 or 4 BUGS in devfs.rules and support scripts.
The fix for the NAME bug is also in this patch, thought it is just a
matter of moving strings around to fix this.

I don't see why this is a g-v-m bug, AFAIWT g-v-m gets the device name
from udev and passes it along to pmount. pmount takes the name and
creates /media/%n and nautilus makes a desctop icon made %n.

So if anything other then udev it's a nautilus bug.

The name changed after I started using udev's devfs.rules. These rules
for whatever reason change the name to the true devfs name and make a
symlink to the compat(%n) name given by upstream(guessing the kernel).

So udev changed the name of the dir made by pmount, is gvm even involved
in this proces? I would guess that gvm simply runes mount and maby pmount
dereferences the symlinks.

Also how is volume.policy.desired_mount_point to be changed, so the user
can use only devfs names or only compat names or only old-compat names?

Reassigning it to udev, because of this patch. Note that your are mixing
problem and that completely sucks with respect to the bts! (It makes tracking
basically impossible).

g-v-m doesn't even has a clue what udev is. Please check how stuff works,
before making statements like this.

Sorry, you don't really make sense here. Please if you want to make a point,
show me something that actually happened to you with recent versions of the
whole stack. Otherwise your just wasting our time :)

I already explained that there is no bug in devfs.rules. If you don't
like the default configuration then change it on your system.

And get a clue, this is not a grave bug.

The name changed after I started using udev's devfs.rules. These rules
for whatever reason change the name to the true devfs name and make a
symlink to the compat(%n) name given by upstream(guessing the kernel).

So udev changed the name of the dir made by pmount, is gvm even involved
in this proces? I would guess that gvm simply runes mount and maby pmount
dereferences the symlinks.

Also how is volume.policy.desired_mount_point to be changed, so the user
can use only devfs names or only compat names or only old-compat names?
