Re: can't change links in /dev

Hi folks,

I currently have a link in /dev between hda, a dvd drive, and /dev/dvd:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 2006-12-26 17:24 /dev/dvd -> hda

I want to change the link so that it points to hdc, another dvd drive:
ie /dev/dvd -> hdc

I am unable to make this change, except in the current session and this
doesn't survive a reboot. ie:
rm /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd
reboot
ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 2006-12-26 17:24 /dev/dvd -> hda

I have no idea why this happens.
How is the link being restored on boot? From where?

Afaik the device drivers are build during startup.
