[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#448347: virtualbox-ose: Fails to detect host CD/DVD drives

[Julien Valroff]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.2-dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

It seems virtualbox only detects /dev/cdrom as a CD/DVD drive.
Other symlinks (eg. generated by udev rules) are not taken into account.

/dev/cdrom1, dev/cdrw etc. are thus not available in the list of available
drives in the virtualbox GUI

Moreover, my floppy drive does appear in the list (/dev/fd0).

Cheers,
Julien
