udev: some usb cd/dvd burners have (wrongly?) ID_TYPE=generic #2485
Description
Hi,
I own an usb cd/dvd burner that has ID_TYPE=generic (whereas ID_TYPE=cd is expected).
Unless I set my own custom udev rule using ENV{ID_SERIAL}, the device is not detected by some applications like xfburn.
Running /lib/udev/ata_id --export /dev/cdrom and /lib/udev/scsi_id --export /dev/cdrom show nothing.
More details at https://bugs.debian.org/653349.
Output of dmesg when plugging the device and udevadm info --name=/dev/sr0 --query=all are given below.
Regards
Pascal Dormeau
