I don't think either of those options are possible.  Of course I could be wrong.

Hi Greg. I kind of figured this could be done via hardlinks. Gotta look at
the man page for ln to find the answer to that one I guess.

Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!

I don't think so either.  The CD-writing howtos all talk of having to
use CD mastering software such as cdrecord and you can't even do this
in windows.  The patterns on the CD are tracks that look nothing like
any typical file systems on a normal magnetic disk.  It's apples and oranges:).

Hi Cecil. I'm reading through the howto right now, and I'll probably find it. I am finding the read quite an interesting but difficult one.

Hi again,
The example they used was for a scanner and they aliased something like
/dev/scsi/sg0h0t0l00 to /dev/scanner.

Cecil

Hi Cecil. I'll check out the howto, but let me clarify. So assuming my
burner is at 0,0,0, the dev sr0 would be aliased to device located at 0,0,0
in the scsi.alias file? That does sound interesting though.

Hi Cecil. I'll check out the howto, but let me clarify. So assuming my burner is at 0,0,0, the dev sr0 would be aliased to device located at 0,0,0 in the scsi.alias file? That does sound interesting though.

Re: 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.

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
