The mps(4) and mpr(4) drivers and hardware handle T10 Protection Information, which is a system of checksums and guard blocks to protect data while it is being transferred and while it is on disk. It is also known as T10 DIF. For more details, see section 4.22 of the SBC-4 spec. Supporting Type 2 protection requires using 32 byte CDBs, and filling in the fields in those CDBs. We don't yet support that in the da(4) driver. Type 1 and Type 3 protection don't require that, and can be handled by the mps(4)/mpr(4) driver's code and firmware without any additional input from the da(4) driver. If a drive has Type 2 protection enabled (you frequently see this with SAS drives shipped from Dell), don't set the various EEDP fields in the mps(4)/mpr(4) driver command fields. Otherwise, you wind up with errors like this that would otherwise make no sense: (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): SCSI status: Check Condition (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:20,0 (Invalid command operation code) (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): Field Replaceable Unit: 0 (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): Command Specific Info: 0 (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): Descriptor 0x80: f8 21 (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): Descriptor 0x81: 00 00 00 00 00 00 (da9:mpr0:0:18:0): Error 22, Unretryable error In other words, what kind of strange SAS hard drive doesn't support a standard 10 byte SCSI READ command? In this case, one that has Type 2 protection enabled. We can revisit this when we put Type 2 protection support in the da(4) driver, but for now this will help people who put Type 2 formatted drives in a system and wonder what in the world is going on.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel
and installkernel
targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel
and installkernel
targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
