You may want to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html On my Mandriva Linux 2011.0 system, running KDE 4.6.5. I have a cd/dvd RW (/dev/sr0) and a cd/dvd R only drive (/dev/sr1). Out of the box install usually sets the read only device as cdrom/dvd/... :( Not wanting to use /dev/dvd1 or cdrom1 to get to the burner, I used/modified /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to create the /dev links to the device I wanted. Result: $ cd /dev $ ls -al | grep sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 cdrom -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 cdrw -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 dvd -> sr0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 dvdrw -> sr0 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Dec 21 15:35 sr0 $ ls -al | grep sr1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 cdrom1 -> sr1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 21 15:35 dvd1 -> sr1 brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Dec 21 15:35 sr1 I also have added my login id to the audio, disk, cdrom groups. :-)
