thanks for the reply incredible:

My question is:

1) if the cd/dvdrom drive is not being used can it generate such errors.

2) how is cd/dvd rom diffrentiated from normal hard drive in /dev file

in the above logs dvdrom is being shown as c0t0d0

now in unix same notation is being used for harddrives .
so how do we diffrentiate them.

3) if the cd/dvdrom is not being used by the system so will it do if we do not replace it and let it generate the errors in /var/adm/messages and truncate it periodically.

Thanks

NAME

       cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute

SYNOPSIS

       cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh]

DESCRIPTION

       cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted.

       When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command.

       This  means  you  can  put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for
       you.

       Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs:
	       * audio cd
	       * data cd
	       * dvd
	       * mixed audio/data cd
	       * vcd
	       * svcd
	       * blank cdr/dvdr

       For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same  goes  for  the  vcd
       checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc.

       cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -r, --run
	      Run commands on disc already in drive when is started.

       -b, --batch
	      Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r)

       -c, --config <filename>
	      Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml)

       -v, --verbose
	      Print out lots of information.

       -V, --version
	      Print out version information.

       -h, --help
	      Print Display this help and exit.

FILES

       ~/.cdde.xml
