|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unknown ATA chipsets are supported in PIO modes, and if the standard
|
|
busmaster DMA registers are present and contain valid setup, DMA is
|
|
also enabled, although the max mode is limited to UDMA33, as it is
|
|
not known what the chipset can do and how to program it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver can change the transfer mode and various other parameters
|
|
when the system is up and running.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr atacontrol 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver sets the maximum transfer mode supported by the hardware as default.
|
|
However the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver sometimes warns:
|
|
.Dq Sy "DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device".
|
|
This means that
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has detected that the required 80 conductor cable is not present
|
|
or could not be detected properly,
|
|
or that one of the devices on the channel only accepts up
|
|
to UDMA2/ATA33.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unknown ATAPI devices are initialized to DMA mode if the
|
|
.Va hw.ata.atapi_dma
|
|
tunable is set to 1 and they support at least UDMA33 transfers.
|
|
Otherwise they are set to PIO mode because severe DMA problems are
|
|
common even if the device capabilities indicate support.
|
|
You can always try to set DMA mode on an ATAPI device using
|
|
.Xr atacontrol 8 ,
|
|
but be aware that your hardware might
|
|
.Em not
|
|
support it and can potentially
|
|
.Em hang
|
|
the entire system causing data loss.

.Sh NOTES
|
|
Please remember that in order to use UDMA4/ATA66 and above modes you
|
|
.Em must
|
|
use 80 conductor cables.
|
|
Please assure that ribbon cables are no longer than 45cm.
|
|
In case of rounded ATA cables, the length depends on the
|
|
quality of the cables.
|
|
SATA cables can be up to 1m long according to the specification.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Static device numbering
|
|
(enabled with the
|
|
.Dv ATA_STATIC_ID
|
|
kernel option)
|
|
reserves a number for each possibly connected disk,
|
|
even when not present.
|
|
This is useful in hotswap scenarios
|
|
where disks should always show up as the same numbered device,
|
|
and not depend on attach order.
