.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm st
|
|
.Nd device driver for SCSI subsystem
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is for Type 1
|
|
.Pq Dv T_SEQUENTIAL
|
|
scsi devices. These devices are normally tape drives. Some tape drives
|
|
require special handling by the device driver. See the QUIRKS section for
|
|
information on handling broken devices.
|
|
.Sh QUIRKS
|
|
Each SCSI device can have problems that the driver needs to work around. See
|
|
.Xr scsiconf 9
|
|
for more info on adding quirks.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE
|
|
.It ST_Q_NEEDS_PAGE_0
|
|
This tells the driver that the device in question always requires a page
|
|
0 on each MODE SELECT operation.
|
|
.It ST_Q_FORCE_FIXED_MODE
|
|
Forces the drive into fixed block mode.
|
|
.It ST_Q_FORCE_VAR_MODE
|
|
Forces the drive into variable block mode.
|
|
.It ST_Q_SNS_HLP
|
|
Drive requires a read of the tape before the mode sense will return useful
|
|
information.
|
|
.It ST_Q_IGNORE_LOADS
|
|
Causes the driver to return without action when telling the drive to load
|
|
a tape.
|
|
.ig xx \" These seem to have become stale in the driver.
|
|
.It ST_Q_BLKSIZ
|
|
Use variable-block size even though media_blksiz is \&< 0.
|
|
.It ST_Q_CC_NOMSG
|
|
This drive doesn't accept message when in CC state.
|
|
.xx
|
|
.It ST_Q_NO_1024
|
|
Never use 1024-byte fixed blocks with this drive.
|
|
.It ST_Q_NO_SYNC
|
|
Disable synchronous negotiation with the drive.
|
|
.It ST_Q_NO_FAST
|
|
Disable fast negotiation with the drive.
|
|
.It ST_Q_NO_WIDE
|
|
Disable wide negotiation with the drive.
|
|
.El
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr st 4
|
|
driver uses the
|
|
.Dv void* devmodes
|
|
entry of
|
|
.Dv struct scsidevs
|
|
.Po
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr scsiconf 9
|
|
for more info
|
|
.Pc
|
|
to point to a
|
|
.Dv struct st_mode st_modes[4]
|
|
array.
|
|
This provides the four different modes for the subdevices accessible by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.

.It quirks
|
|
Specifies the quirk flags to use, overriding general quirk flags for
|
|
that drive.
|
|
.It density
|
|
Specifies the density used for this mode. See the file
|
|
.Pa /sys/scsi/scsiconf.h
