I've got a external (USB/Firewire) LG GSA-5163D, which is a multiformat device. ħR(W) seems to work fine so far. But when I insert a -Ram medium the kernel or devd or whoever is responsible for that doesn't create the a- and c-partition device nodes. The only exception is when I insert the medium before hooking the dvd-writer into my notebook. It doesn't matter whether I use firewire or usb2. Here's some dmesg output: Hooking it into firewire, with inserted dvd-ram medium fwohci0: BUS reset fwohci0: node_id=0xc800ffc1, gen=2, CYCLEMASTER mode firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <= 1, cable IRM = 1 (me) firewire0: bus manager 1 (me) firewire0: New S400 device ID:0050770500000093 cd1 at sbp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd1: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd1: 50.000MB/s transfers cd1: cd present [2236704 x 2048 byte records] unplugging it again: fwohci0: BUS reset fwohci0: node_id=0xc800ffc0, gen=3, CYCLEMASTER mode firewire0: 1 nodes, maxhop <= 0, cable IRM = 0 (me) firewire0: bus manager 0 (me) The /dev/cd1* doesn't go away. When I reconnect it it stays dead until I reboot the computer. Is Firewire incapable of hotplugging? camcontrol rescan and fwcontrol -r don't bring it back to life. connecting it via usb2 without a medium: umass0: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-5163D Super Multi DVD Rewriter, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 cd2 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd2: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd2: 40.000MB/s transfers cd2: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present I can however readout the disklabel of the medium but I haven't yet figured out how to mount it then.
