The

|
.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
|
1997-02-09 21:08:52 +00:00
|
|
|
Each SCSI device can have problems that the driver needs to work around. See

.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
|
|
|
|

|
|
.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.

|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
