.Sh NAME

|

|
.Nd scsi Write-Once driver
|
||
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.Nm device worm0 at scbus?
|
||
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Xr worm
|
||
|
|
driver provides preliminary support for a
|
||
|
|
SCSI Write-Once type device.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
It is unlikely that this driver works yet. Jordan will test
|
||
|
|
it for us.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
A scsi adapter must be separately configured into the system
|
||
|
|
before this driver can be used.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
This device only supports
|
||
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Xr write 2 ,
|
||
|
|
and the general scsi ioctl calls. There are no partitions yet; the entire
|
||
|
|
drive is treated as a single raw device. There are no block devices yet
|
||
|
|
so you can't mount a file system with this. That will have to wait for
|
||
|
|
the partition code to be cleaned up.
|
||
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
driver has no ioctls of it's own but rather acts as a medium for the
|
||
|
|
generic
|
||
|
|
.Xr scsi 4
|
||
|
|
ioctls. These are described in
|
||
|
|
.Em sys/scsiio.h.

||

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
It is unlikely that this driver actually works.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
There will be no partition code until Bruce finishes his slice work.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
There will be no block devices until the partition code is done.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
There will be no kernel "devconf" code until that is treated cleanly
|
||
|
|
across the SCSI system.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Em "at scbus?"
|
||
|
|
is required in the config file for the configuration
|
||
|
|
system to know this is a SCSI device and generate the appropriate
|
||
|
|
tables.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The 0 in
|
||
|
|
.Em worm0
|
||
|
|
in the configuration is required.
|
||
|
|
This is a bug in
|
||
|
|
.Xr config 8 .

All
|
