What if I have two CDROMs? /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1? I'm worried that name
match is not sufficient and we need to lstat() and check if the major
number (st.st_rdev) is 11 (0xb) (according to
Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt from kernel sources). And even
that might be not enough :(
Ironically I had "STRPREFIX(path, "/dev/sr") originally, but at the last
moment switched to /dev/sr0. I also considered the stat option for the
major number. Could do the same STRPREFIX for /dev/cdrom too.
In a way, I was hoping to get more ideas from the community on this. Are
we always "sure" that CD-ROM's will start with /dev/sr? That was
something else I couldn't tell. And there's so much "history" out there
in google land that one could spend way too much time researching for
all the crazy ways to name a cdrom (the path stuff below was mainly a
reaction to something I read, but I forget where). I did check QEMU and
ironically sources there are included to use /dev/cdrom.
Other options I considered, but felt were a bit over the top/excessive:
1. Could defer to nodedev - it would be able to "know" which devices
are cdrom... stores that in <drive_type>... could add a capability
'cdrom' that would also returning a list of cdrom devices, then compare
the resolved path against that list.
2. Could use something like 'processLU', but only for SCSI devices...
Essentially ends up searching for a 0x5 in the
"/sys/bus/scsi/devices/*/type", then again comparing resolved paths
against the list returned.
Neither of the options was palatable for the "benefit" gained of being
able to further filter and decide which which paths wouldn't get the
tainted message.

This will only work for cases where /dev/cdrom points to the device in
@path. However, if /dev/cdrom is pointing to /dev/sr0 and I'm calling
this function over /dev/sr1 (because I have a machine with dozens of
CDROMs) this function returns false which is obviously wrong.

True, sigh. I'm not sure how "easily" solve-able this will be for us to
determine that the provided $path is some block device (iSCSI, LVM,
Disk, etc.) or the "real" CD-ROM.
