how does one configure udev to create /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd*?

Hi,

i added this line to my /etc/udev/50-udev.permissions:

pktcdvd/*:root:cdrw:0660

I added these lines to my /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:

KERNEL="pktcdvd", NAME="pktcdvd/control"
KERNEL="pktcdvd[0-9]*", NAME="pktcdvd/pktcdvd%n"

the results:

ls /dev/pktcdvd
control

pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdf
ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device

ls -l /dev/pktcdvd*
crw- --- --- 10, 63 /dev/pktcdvd/control
-r-- --x r-t 0 /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0

pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdf
ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I have been googling making posts in other forums for a couple weeks no answers. It seems like udftools-1.0.0b3 is old, and that is what i am using. I looked in the cvs it also looks old from sourceforge. I am using linux-2.6.11.6, and the current hotplug scripts and udev version. I think something changed in the new kernels or something. I have built this linux system from source code guided by the linux from scratch project. When i initially tried udftools udev created /dev/pktcdvd which was a character device which i modified with the udev rules to get the proper name control and be in the proper directorie. Am i the only one with this problem. Does anyone use another software package for packet writing in linux? I have a cdrw drive, and i know their is some packet writing software for dvdrw drives, and i was wondering if it also worked for cdrw's. I am all ears i need to solve this problem so i can move on with my system.

peace,

Did you enable the CD packet writing option when you compiled your kernel? If not, you'll need to recompile it with that option enabled.

Hi,

Yes i enabled packet writing in my kernel config, and i have it built into the kernel rather than a module.

thanks

Hi,

I have a directorie in the /sys tree for pktcdvd

$ ls /sys/class/misc/pktcdvd
dev
$

how do I write my udev rules to create /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0. I have been trying to figure this out for about a week maybe a little more. I feel this is not documented well. Please give me help I need to use my cdrw.

thanks
