Absolutely. Since I have no access to BIOS settings to put the computer to sleep, I reboot every day. And there's not a trace of /dev/dvd , only /dev/dvd1 and /dev/dvdrw1, which are both links to /dev/sr0.
When you don't have problems, it's not the kind of settings you check closely but, since my dvd players were pointing to /dev/dvd, I would think this is the normal setting.
I believe the devices are created at boot time, no? And I even have no idea how I could prevent /dev/dvd form being created.
Yes, they are created by udev. I had the same problem as yours but my description of the problem was slightly different from yours: links /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0 were created at boot time but erased as soon as I put a cd|dvd in the drive. So I could use the drive only once!
The missing file was: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
Have you this file? (maybe with another number than 70)?
Fedora version?
12
My problem occured with this version.
