Description michel munnix 2006-03-22 22:26:30 UTC

there are 3 drives:
/dev/hdc DVD-writer
/dev/hdd DVD
/dev/sr0 CD-writer

Having booted from /dev/hdd with CD1, I loaded CD2 in /dev/hdc and CD3 in /dev/sr0

CD2 gets mounted on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001

Yast displays a box : insert SUSElinux CD 1 whith only an ok button and does not eject CD2 (from /dev/hdd), CD1 not seen in /dev/hdd (CD1 and CD3 can be ejected)
Only solution : go to tty2 and umount /dev/hdc

sorry, please read /dev/hdc in "not eject CD2 (from /dev/hdd)"

Comment 3 Michael Gross 2006-03-23 08:30:50 UTC

Does the `eject' command work on the shell for all drives?

Comment 4 michel munnix 2006-03-23 17:55:08 UTC

yes, eject works for all 3 drives. I tried out some swapping of the CDs. Here is my finding:
YaST searches for CD1 in /dev/hdc, even if it booted from /dev/hdd.
If there is a medium in the drive, it insists on it being CD1.
Only if there is no medium in /dev/hdc does it check /dev/hdd.
And it searches /dev/sr0 only if /dev/hdd has no medium loaded.

Comment 5 Marius Tomaschewski 2006-04-24 15:35:37 UTC

Yes, exactly -- first one drive containing a media "wins";
the upper zypp layers never try to mount the next drive.

Support of multiple CD drives is not finished.
