I have noticed the same thing. In particular there are 8 LUNs for each CD device. I've seen it with different brands of CD drives (HP, Philips, Hitachi(I think)). Happens whether the device is CDROM or CDRW. I don't know any value to this behaviour. But it is awkward. In each case have a CDROM and a CDRW on the same IDE bus. Each is running RH6.0 with kernel 2.2.10. In each case I have had to edit /dev/MAKEDEV to create more SCSI device nodes because the default was only 8, and that only covered the first CDROM. -- Allen Brown
