Description Gérard Milmeister 2005-06-18 18:41:14 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Galeon/1.3.21

Description of problem:
hdparm (root)  works fine for HD devices, but on /dev/hdd which
is a DVD device, it only says:
/dev/hdd: Permission denied

I tried hdparm-6.1 which works fine as before.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hdparm-5.9-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As root: /sbin/hdparm /dev/cdrom
2. Returns: /dev/cdrom: Permission denied

  

Additional info:
Comment 1 Karsten Hopp 2005-06-23 09:26:10 UTC 
what are the permissions of /dev/cdrom or if it is a link the device file it
points at ?
Comment 2 Gérard Milmeister 2005-06-23 17:29:08 UTC 
Now it works again. After rebooting I couldn't reproduce the problem...
But maybe there is a bug deeply hidden that only shows under certain unlikely
circumstances.
Comment 3 Karsten Hopp 2005-06-27 12:21:19 UTC 
closing based on last comment. This looks more like a udev problem anyway. (udev
creates the device files in /dev)
