Hello, i have the next problem with devfs. It's a FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE (but the
problem is there since the first available beta versions). I want to use an
ATA dvd rewriter as SCSI. I have added the ATAPI/CAM and if i do a:
camcontrol devlist
i can see correctly the devices
<BENQ DVD DD DW1620 B7W9> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)
<TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1612 X004> at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,cd1)
In /etc/devfs.conf I have the next lines:
link cd0 cdrom
link cd0 dvd
perm cd0 0666
perm cd1 0666
perm pass0 0666
perm pass1 0666
perm xpt0 0666
But it seems that at boot time /etc/rc.d/devfs is not correctly launched, so i
have only access to those devices as root. If i want to have acces to them as
a normal user i have to launch /etc/rc.d/devfs by hand as root, so i don't
have any problem.
I see a suspicious boot up messages with cd0 and cd1, the detection is
accomplised at the end of the boot process, but in another machines is
detected much before, at least that's what i see on another machines with a
similar configuration
Any clue on what happens?
Thanks a lot
