("Hey! Who made _you_ the keeper of all things BSDish?!") but this has
bugged me for a long time, and now that I finally have the chance
to hack on it (and test the results), I'll take my chances. I can also
point to other BSD implementations for precedents if you put my back to
the wall.
The only thing that's changed is how the messages are formatted. Now,
instead of having this:
aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
(aha0:3:0): "HP C1553A 9503" type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0(aha0:3:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x24, variable blocks, write-enabled
(aha0:3:1): "HP C1553A 9503" type 8 removable SCSI 2
ch0(aha0:3:1): Medium-Changer 6 slot(s) 1 drive(s) 0 arm(s) 0 i/e-slot(s)
We have this:
aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
scbus0 at aha0 bus 0
st0 at scbus0 target 3 lun 0
st0: <HP C1553A 9503> type 1 removable SCSI 2
st0: Sequential-Access density code 0x24, variable blocks, write-enabled
ch0 at scbus0 target 3 lun 1
ch0: <HP C1553A 9503> type 8 removable SCSI 2
ch0: Medium-Changer 6 slot(s) 1 drive(s) 0 arm(s) 0 i/e-slot(s)
Which is (to me anyway) is a lot more pleasant to look at. (Call me
crazy -- g'head: you know you wanna -- but the previous messages remind
me of Linux. Ever see the output from the linux device probes? It's a mess
of copyright notices, version numbers/dates, author e-mail addresses and
other crap. Let's not go there, okay? Bleh.)
Notice that devices are now specified in terms of the scsi bus they
live on rather than the adapter. This better reflects the contents
of the kernel config file (if you use wired-down device specifications
anyway) and removes some ambiguity that may arise if you have a multi-
channel adapter with more than one bus.
Also, sc_print_addr() now generates messages like this:
st0 at scbus0 target 3 lun 0: NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present
instead of this:
st0(aha0:3:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 Medium not present
I also added a quirk entry for the HP Superstore 12000e 6 tape DAT
autoloader, which needs SC_MORE_LUS in order for the changer device
to be properly probed and attached. (I'm working on a chcontrol utility
to manipulate the changer on this drive which should hopefully be general
enough to work with other changers too. If you want the prototype I have
now, it's at ftp://skynet.ctr.columbia.edu/pub/freebsd/changer.c.)
Remaining bugs:
- The 'foodev0: yadda yadda yadda' bits should probably be printed entirely
by the device-specific subdriver attach code instead of half by the
scsi_device_attach() routine and half by the device specific attach
routine like it is now.
- The wired-down device specifications in the kernel config file should
be used to control bus/device probing to some extent rather than just
for choosing names for devices we find. If the config says there's a
device at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 called sd0, we should look there and
check for a device that can be managed by the sd driver. If we don't
find one, we should probably complain that there's no device there or
that there is a device but of the wrong type. Once all the devices from
the wired down list have been probed, the code can then autodetect and
autoattach any devices that remain unassigned.
- Apparently some tape changers (hi Ulf!) return 'not ready/medium not
present' when the magazine is loaded but a tape has not been put in the
drive yet. This causes an open(/dev/ch0) to fail and prevents you from
using the changer.c utility to load the first tape into the drive. My
HP changer does not behave this way. The workaround is to manually load
a tape into the drive before attempting to use the changer program, but
you can get in trouble if you accidentally eject a tape without loading
a new one and you're at a remote location: you won't be able to load
any tapes anymore. I'm not sure what the correct software solution is
for this but ideally there should be one.
- I should not be doing this: I'm the NIS guru, not the SCSI guru.

have I done?)

(2) Add new variable NO_IGNORE that will override any IGNORE causes.
This is just a little hack to allow building of REQUIRES_MOTIF
ports and its dependencies only etc., so don't document it.
(3) Update +REQUIRED_BY files as necessary. Now you should be able to
delete ports that have runtime dependencies without pkg_delete
complaining about this file missing.
Add auto-termination support as well as support for setting the high byte
termination. Booting with '-v' will display the settings that the driver
chose. If you stick narrow devices onto the external wide port, you had
better make sure that your converter cable terminates the bus, you have a
wide device on there that terminates the bus, or you manually set the
termination properly in SCSI-Select instead of using "Automatic". The
code will get the setting right regardless if you *don't* have internal
wide devices in this type of configuration. Unfortunatly this is a limitation
of the design of the Adaptec cards.
Style nit. Backslashes in macro weren't aligned.
aic7xxx.c:
Preserve the value of STPWEN in SXFRCTL1 during initialization. STPWEN
controls low byte termination and is setup by the PCI probe front end.
SDONE, not HDONE.
In the data phase dma handler, mask off just the enable bits instead of
clearing the whole register. Clearing the direction bit could be bad.
Also don't stop a DMA until MREQPEND goes false. Doing this may cause
an ABORT on the PCI bus although I have yet to see this happen.
Add definitions for MREQPEND and the BRDCTL register. The BRDCTL register
is used to handle high byte termination and automatic termination testing.
at the time, but on further reflection..." bucket with these changes.
1. Checking the media before frobbing the disks was a fine idea, and
I wish it could have worked, but that leads to a rather difficult
situation when you need to mount the media someplace and you're about
to:
a) Chroot away from your present root.
b) Newfs the root to be.
You're basically screwed since there's no place to stick the mount
point where it will be found following the newfs/chroot (and eliminating
the chroot in favor of just using the "root bias" feature would work
great for the distributions but not the pkg_add calls done by the
package installer).
2. Automatic timeout handling. I don't know why, but alarm() frequently
returns no residual even when the alarm didn't go off, which defies
the man page but hey, since when was that so unusual? Take out timeouts
but retain the code which temporarily replaces the SIGINT handler in
favor of a more media-specific handler. This way, at least, if it's hanging
you can at least whap it. I think the timeout code would have been losing
over *really slow* links anyway, so it's probably best that it go.
This should fix NFS, tape & CDROM installs again (serves me right for getting
complacent and using just the FTP installs in my testing).
Disabling npx0 works right now.
Don't reference `npxdriver' if npx0 is not configured. Not configuring
npx0 doesn't quite work yet.
Don't clear potential non-npx pcb flags in setregs().
