I probably originally wrote. Also take my name OUT of the ddb man page.. I did NOT port it from mach.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sd
|
|
.Nd SCSI disk driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd disk sd
|
|
.Cd disk sd1 at scbus0 target 4 lun 0
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm sd
|
|
driver provides support for a
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
disk. It allows the disk
|
|
to be divided up into a set of pseudo devices called
|
|
.Em partitions .
|
|
In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
|
|
.Xr wd 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where the
|
|
.Xr wd 4
|
|
device has a fairly low level interface to the system,
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
devices have a much higher level interface and talk to the system via
|
|
a
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
host adapter
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
.Xr ahc 4 ) .
|
|
A
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
adapter must also be separately configured into the system
|
|
before a
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
disk can be configured.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
adapter is probed during boot, the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
bus is scanned for devices. Any devices found which answer as
|
|
.Sq Em Direct
|
|
type devices will be attached to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
In
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
releases prior to 2.1, the first found was attached as
|
|
.Li sd0 ,
|
|
the second
|
|
.Li sd1 ,
|
|
and so on.
|
|
Beginning in
|
|
.Fx 2.1
|
|
it became possible to lock down the assignment of
|
|
devices on the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
bus to particular units of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device; refer to
|
|
.Xr scsi 4
|
|
for details on kernel configuration.
|
|
.Sh PARTITIONING
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver allows the disk to have two levels of partitioning.
|
|
One layer, called the
|
|
.Dq slice layer ,
|
|
is used to separate the
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
areas of the disk from areas used by other operating systems.
|
|
The second layer is the native
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
partitioning scheme,
|
|
.Xr disklabel 5 ,
|
|
which is used to subdivide the
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
slices into areas for individual filesystems and swap spaces.
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
.Xr fdisk 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr disklabel 8 ,
|
|
respectively.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If an uninitialized disk is opened, the slice table will be
|
|
initialized with a fictitious
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
slice spanning the entire disk. Similarly, if an uninitialized
|
|
(or
|
|
.No non- Ns Tn FreeBSD )
|
|
slice is opened, its disklabel will be initialized with parameters returned
|
|
by the drive and a single
|
|
.Sq Li c
|
|
partition encompassing the entire slice.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
It is only necessary to explicitly configure one
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device; data structures are dynamically allocated as disks are found
|
|
on the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
bus.
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls apply to
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
disks as well as to other disks. They are defined in the header file
|
|
.Aq Pa disklabel.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width DIOCSDINFO
|
|
.It Dv DIOCSBAD
|
|
Usually used to set up a bad-block mapping system on the disk.
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
drive incorporate their own bad-block mapping so this command is not
|
|
implemented.
|
|
.It Dv DIOCGDINFO
|
|
Read, from the kernel, the in-core copy of the disklabel for the
|
|
drive. This may be a fictitious disklabel if the drive has never
|
|
been initialized, in which case it will contain information read
|
|
from the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
inquiry commands.
|
|
.It Dv DIOCSDINFO
|
|
Give the driver a new disklabel to use. The driver
|
|
.Em will not
|
|
write the new
|
|
disklabel to the disk.
|
|
.It Dv DIOCWLABEL
|
|
Enable or disable the driver's software
|
|
write protect of the disklabel on the disk.
|
|
.It Dv DIOCWDINFO
|
|
Give the driver a new disklabel to use. The driver
|
|
.Em will
|
|
write the new disklabel to the disk.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, the
|
|
.Xr scsi 4
|
|
general
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
commands may be used with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver, but only against the
|
|
.Sq Li c
|
|
(whole disk) partition.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
If a removable device is attached to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the
|
|
disklabel and information held within the kernel. To avoid
|
|
corruption, all accesses to the device will be discarded until there
|
|
are no more open file descriptors referencing the device. During this
|
|
period, all new open attempts will be rejected. When no more open
|
|
file descriptors reference the device, the first next open will load a
|
|
new set of parameters (including disklabel) for the drive.

2.5, and was ported to
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
