这个问题貌似困扰了我一小会，因为要查看cd的mount point，使用mount命令查看后竟然是设备/dev/sr0挂载到了我准备的磁盘mount point，我试着umount了这个设备，使用/dev/cdrom 挂载了后竟然没有区别，然后查看设备节点，发现如下：
原来/dev/cdrom 只是一个到sr0的符号链接。那么sr到底代表什么呢，google了一下发现了一个邮件列表里边也有个哥们郁闷这事。摘录如下：

Loïc had it right. But you should read the code from orbit. It's the only way to make sure. >From a 2.4 kernel source drivers/scsi/sd.c static struct Scsi_Device_Template sd_template = { name:"disk", tag:"sd", scsi_type:TYPE_DISK, <== "d" for disk major:SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR, /* * Secondary range of majors that this driver handles. */ min_major:SCSI_DISK1_MAJOR, max_major:SCSI_DISK7_MAJOR, blk:1, detect:sd_detect, init:sd_init, finish:sd_finish, attach:sd_attach, detach:sd_detach, init_command:sd_init_command, }; drivers/scsi/st.c static struct Scsi_Device_Template st_template = { name:"tape", tag:"st", scsi_type:TYPE_TAPE, <== "t" for tape major:SCSI_TAPE_MAJOR, detect:st_detect, init:st_init, attach:st_attach, detach:st_detach }; drivers/scsi/sr.c static struct Scsi_Device_Template sr_template = { name:"cdrom", tag:"sr", scsi_type:TYPE_ROM, <== "r" for ROM major:SCSI_CDROM_MAJOR, blk:1, detect:sr_detect, init:sr_init, finish:sr_finish, attach:sr_attach, detach:sr_detach, init_command:sr_init_command }; >From a 2.6 kernel source drivers/scsi/sr.c MODULE_DESCRIPTION("SCSI cdrom (sr) driver"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_ALIAS_BLOCKDEV_MAJOR(SCSI_CDROM_MAJOR); MODULE_ALIAS_SCSI_DEVICE(TYPE_ROM); MODULE_ALIAS_SCSI_DEVICE(TYPE_WORM); -- sktsee -- ubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
可以看出：
sr代表 scsi + rom
sd代表 scsi + disk
sg 代表 scsi + generic
st代表 scsi + tape
