This will help application developers simulate end of tape conditions. To inject an error in sa0: sysctl kern.cam.sa.0.inject_eom=1 This will return the next read or write request queued with 0 bytes written. Any subsequent writes or reads will go along as usual. This will also cause the early warning position flag to get set for the next position query. So, 'mt status' will show the BPEW (Beyond Programmable Early Warning) flag on the first query after an error injection. After that, the position flags will be as they are in the underlying tape drive. Also, update the sa(4) man page to describe tape parameters, which can be set via 'mt param'. sys/cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c: In saregister(), create the inject_eom sysctl variable. In sastart(), check to see whether inject_eom is set. If so, return the read or write with 0 bytes written to indicate EOM. Set the set_pews_status flag so that we fake PEWS status in the next position call for reads, and the next 3 calls for writes. This allows the user to see the BPEW flag one time via 'mt status'. In sagetpos(), check the set_pews_status flag and fake PEWS status and decrement the counter if it is set. share/man/man4/sa.4: Document the inject_eom sysctl variable. Document all of the parameters currently supported via 'mt param'. usr.bin/mt/mt.1: Point the user to the sa(4) man page for more details on supported parameters.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to command a magnetic tape drive for operations
|
|
other than reading or writing data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option's
|
|
.Ar tapename
|
|
overrides the
|
|
.Ev TAPE
|
|
environment variable described below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The available commands are listed below.
|
|
Only as many
|
|
characters as are required to uniquely identify a command
|
|
need be specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands optionally take a
|
|
.Ar count ,
|
|
which defaults to 1.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm erase"
|
|
.It Cm weof
|
|
Write
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
end-of-file (EOF) marks at the current position.
|
|
This returns when the file mark has been written to the media.
|
|
.It Cm weofi
|
|
Write
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
end-of-file (EOF) marks at the current position.
|
|
This returns as soon as the command has been validated by the tape drive.
|
|
.It Cm smk
|
|
Write
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
setmarks at the current position (DDS drives only).
|
|
.It Cm fsf
|
|
Forward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
files.
|
|
.It Cm fsr
|
|
Forward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
records.
|
|
.It Cm fss
|
|
Forward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
setmarks (DDS drives only).
|
|
.It Cm bsf
|
|
Backward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
files.
|
|
.It Cm bsr
|
|
Backward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
records.
|
|
.It Cm bss
|
|
Backward space
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
setmarks (DDS drives only).
|
|
.It Cm erase
|
|
Erase the tape using a long (often very long) method.
|
|
With a
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
of 0, it will erase the tape using a quick method.
|
|
Operation is not guaranteed if the tape is not at its beginning.
|
|
The tape will be at its beginning upon completion.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands ignore
|
|
.Ar count .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm geteotmodel"
|
|
.It Cm rdhpos
|
|
Read the hardware block position.
|
|
The block
|
|
number reported is specific for that hardware only.
|
|
With drive data compression especially,
|
|
this position may have more to do with the amount of data
|
|
sent to the drive than the amount of data written to tape.
|
|
Some drives do not support this.
|
|
.It Cm rdspos
|
|
Read the SCSI logical block position.
|
|
This typically is greater than the hardware position
|
|
by the number of end-of-file marks.
|
|
Some drives do not support this.
|
|
.It Cm rewind
|
|
Rewind the tape.
|
|
.It Cm offline , rewoffl
|
|
Rewind the tape and place the drive off line.
|
|
Some drives are never off line.
|
|
.It Cm load
|
|
Load the tape into the drive.
|
|
.It Cm retension
|
|
Re-tension the tape.
|
|
This winds the tape from the current position to the end
|
|
and then to the beginning.
|
|
This sometimes improves subsequent reading and writing,
|
|
particularly for streaming drives.
|
|
Some drives do not support this.
|
|
.It Cm ostatus
|
|
Output status information about the drive.
|
|
For SCSI magnetic tape devices,
|
|
the current operating modes of density, blocksize, and whether compression
|
|
is enabled is reported.
|
|
The current state of the driver (what it thinks that
|
|
it is doing with the device) is reported.
|
|
If the driver knows the relative
|
|
position from BOT (in terms of filemarks and records), it outputs that.
|
|
Note
|
|
that this information is not definitive (only BOT, End of Recorded Media, and
|
|
hardware or SCSI logical block position (if the drive supports such) are
|
|
considered definitive tape positions).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Also note that this is the old status command, and will be eliminated in
|
|
favor of the new status command (see below) in a future release.
|
|
.It Cm errstat
|
|
Output (and clear) error status information about this device.
|
|
For every normal
|
|
operation (e.g., a read or a write) and every control operation (e.g,, a
|
|
rewind), the driver stores up the last command executed and it is associated
|
|
status and any residual counts (if any).
|
|
This command retrieves and outputs this
|
|
information.
|
|
If possible, this also clears any latched error information.
|
|
.It Cm geteotmodel
|
|
Output the current EOT filemark model.
|
|
The model states how
|
|
many filemarks will be written at close if a tape was being written.
|
|
.It Cm eod , eom
|
|
Wind the tape to the end of the recorded data,
|
|
typically after an EOF mark where another file may be written.
|
|
.It Cm rblim
|
|
Report the block limits of the tape drive, including the minimum and
|
|
maximum block size, and the block granularity if any.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following commands may require an
|
|
.Ar argument .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm seteotmodel"
|
|
.It Cm sethpos
|
|
Set the hardware block position.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
is a hardware block number to which to position the tape.
|
|
Some drives do not support this.
|
|
.It Cm setspos
|
|
Set the SCSI logical block position.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
is a SCSI logical block number to which to position the tape.
|
|
Some drives do not support this.
|
|
.It Cm blocksize
|
|
Set the block size for the drive.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
is the number of bytes per block,
|
|
except 0 commands the drive to use variable-length blocks.
|
|
.It Cm seteotmodel
|
|
Set the EOT filemark model to
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
and output the old and new models.
|
|
Typically this will be 2
|
|
filemarks, but some devices (typically QIC cartridge drives) can
|
|
only write 1 filemark.
|
|
You may only choose a value of
|
|
.Ar 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar 2 .
|
|
.It Cm status
|
|
Output status information about the drive.
|
|
For SCSI magnetic tape devices,
|
|
the current operating modes of density, blocksize, and whether compression
|
|
is enabled is reported.
|
|
The current state of the driver (what it thinks that
|
|
it is doing with the device) is reported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the driver knows the relative
|
|
position from BOT (in terms of filemarks and records), it outputs that.
|
|
If the tape drive supports the long form report of the
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
READ POSITION command, the Reported File Number and Reported Record Number
|
|
will be numbers other than -1, and there may be Flags reported as well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The BOP flag means that the logical position of the drive is at the
|
|
beginning of the partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The EOP flag means that the logical position of the drive is between Early
|
|
Warning and End of Partition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The BPEW flag means that the logical position of the drive is in a
|
|
Programmable Early Warning Zone or on the EOP side of Early Warning.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the Reported Record Number is the tape block or object number
|
|
relative to the beginning of the partition.
|
|
The Calculated Record Number is the tape block or object number relative
|
|
to the previous file mark.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note
|
|
that the Calculated File and Record Numbers are not definitive.
|
|
The Reported File and Record Numbers are definitive, if they are numbers
|
|
other than -1.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 6n
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Print additional status information, such as the maximum supported I/O
|
|
size.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Print all available status data to stdout in XML format.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm getdensity
|
|
Report density support information for the tape drive and any media that is
|
|
loaded.
|
|
Most drives will report at least basic density information similar to that
|
|
reported by
|
|
.Nm status
|
|
command.
|
|
Newer tape drives that conform to the T-10 SSC and newer tape
|
|
specifications may report more detailed information about the types of
|
|
tapes they support and the tape currently in the drive.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 6n
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Print all available density data to stdout in XML format.
|
|
Because density information is currently included in the general status XML
|
|
report used for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
status command, this will be the same XML output via
|
|
.Do
|
|
.Nm
|
|
status
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
.Dc
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm param
|
|
Display or set parameters.
|
|
One of
|
|
.Fl l ,
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
must be specified to indicate which operation to perform.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr sa 4
|
|
for more detailed information on the parameters.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 8n
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
List parameters, values and descriptions.
|
|
By default all parameters will be displayed.
|
|
To display a specific parameter, specify the parameter with
|
|
.Fl p .
|
|
.It Fl p Ar name
|
|
Specify the parameter name to list (with
|
|
.Fl l )
|
|
or set (with
|
|
.Fl s ) .
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Enable quiet mode for parameter listing.
|
|
This will suppress printing of parameter descriptions.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar value
|
|
Specify the parameter value to set.
|
|
The general type of this argument (integer, unsigned integer, string) is
|
|
determined by the type of the variable indicated by the
|
|
.Xr sa 4
|
|
driver.
|
|
More detailed argument checking is done by the
|
|
.Xr sa 4
|
|
driver.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Print out all parameter information in XML format.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm protect
|
|
Display or set drive protection parameters.
|
|
This is used to control checking and reporting a per-block checksum for
|
|
tape drives that support it.
|
|
Some drives may only support some parameters.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 8n
|
|
.It Fl b Ar 0|1
|
|
Set the Recover Buffered Data Protected bit.
|
|
If set, this indicates that checksums are transferred with the logical
|
|
blocks transferred by the RECOVERED BUFFERED DATA
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
command.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Disable all protection information settings.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Enable all protection information settings.
|
|
The default protection method used is Reed-Solomon CRC (protection method
|
|
1), as specified in ECMA-319.
|
|
The default protection information length used with Reed-Solomon CRC is
|
|
4 bytes.
|
|
To enable all settings except one more more settings, specify the
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
argument and then explicitly disable settings that you do not wish to
|
|
enable.
|
|
For example, specifying
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
.Fl w Ar 0
|
|
will enable all settings except for LBP_W.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
List available protection parmeters and their current settings.
|
|
.It Fl L Ar len
|
|
Set the length of the protection information in bytes.
|
|
For Reed-Solomon CRC, the protection information length should be 4 bytes.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar num
|
|
Specify the numeric value for the protection method.
|
|
The numeric value for Reed-Solomon CRC is 1.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar 0|1
|
|
Set the LBP_R parameter.
|
|
When set, this indicates that each block read from the tape drive will
|
|
have a checksum at the end.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Enable verbose mode for parameter listing.
|
|
This will include descriptions of each parameter.
|
|
.It Fl w Ar 0|1
|
|
Set the LBP_W parameter.
|
|
When set, this indicates that each block written to the tape drive will have
|
|
a checksum at the end.
|
|
The drive will verify the checksum before writing the block to tape.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm locate
|
|
Set the tape drive's logical position.
|
|
One of
|
|
.Fl b ,
|
|
.Fl e ,
|
|
.Fl f ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
must be specified to indicate the type of position.
|
|
If the partition number is specified, the drive will first relocate to the
|
|
given partition (if it exists) and then to the position indicated within
|
|
that partition.
|
|
If the partition number is not specified, the drive will relocate to the
|
|
given position within the current partition.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 14n
|
|
.It Fl b Ar block_addr
|
|
Relocate to the given tape block or logical object identifier.
|
|
Note that the block number is the Reported Record Number that is relative
|
|
to the beginning of the partition (or beginning of tape).
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Relocate to the end of data.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar fileno
|
|
Relocate to the given file number.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar partition
|
|
Specify the partition to change to.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar setmark
|
|
Relocate to the given set mark.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Cm comp
|
|
Set the drive's compression mode.
|
|
The non-numeric values of
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 9n -compact
|
|
.It off
|
|
Turn compression off.
|
|
.It on
|
|
Turn compression on.
|
|
.It none
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Ar off .
|
|
.It enable
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Ar on .
|
|
.It IDRC
|
|
IBM Improved Data Recording Capability compression (0x10).
|
|
.It DCLZ
|
|
DCLZ compression algorithm (0x20).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition to the above recognized compression keywords, the user can
|
|
supply a numeric compression algorithm for the drive to use.
|
|
In most
|
|
cases, simply turning the compression
|
|
.Sq on
|
|
will have the desired effect of enabling the default compression algorithm
|
|
supported by the drive.
|
|
If this is not the case (see the
|
|
.Cm status
|
|
display to see which compression algorithm is currently in use), the user
|
|
can manually specify one of the supported compression keywords (above), or
|
|
supply a numeric compression value from the drive's specifications.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that for some older tape drives (for example the Exabyte 8200 and 8500
|
|
series drives) it is necessary to switch to a different density to tell the
|
|
drive to record data in its compressed format.
|
|
If the user attempts to turn compression on while the uncompressed density
|
|
is selected, the drive will return an error.
|
|
This is generally not an issue for modern tape drives.
|
|
.It Cm density
|
|
Set the density for the drive.
|
|
For the density codes, see below.
|
|
The density value could be given either numerically, or as a string,
|
|
corresponding to the
|
|
.Dq Reference
|
|
field.
|
|
If the string is abbreviated, it will be resolved in the order
|
|
shown in the table, and the first matching entry will be used.
|
|
If the
|
|
given string and the resulting canonical density name do not match
|
|
exactly, an informational message is output about what the given
|
|
string has been taken for.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The initial version of the density table below was taken from the
|
|
.Sq Historical sequential access density codes
|
|
table (A-1) in Revision 11 of the SCSI-3 Stream Device Commands (SSC)
|
|
working draft, dated November 11, 1997.
|
|
Subsequent additions have come from a number of sources.
|
|

NOTES
|
|
1. Serial recorded.
|
|
2. Parallel recorded.
|
|
3. Old format known as QIC-11.
|
|
5. Helical scan.
|
|
6. This is not an American National Standard. The reference is based
|
|
on an industry standard definition of the media format.
|
|
7. DLT recording: serially recorded track pairs (DLTapeIII and
|
|
DLTapeIV(20)), or track quads (DLTapeIV(35) and DLTapeIV(40)).
|
|
8. Super DLT (SDLT) recording: 56 serially recorded logical tracks
|
|
with 8 physical tracks each.
|
|
9. Vendor-specific Exabyte density code for compressed format.
|
|
10. bpi/bpmm values for the Oracle/StorageTek T10000 tape drives are
|
|
not listed in the manual. Someone with access to a drive can
|
|
supply the necessary values by running 'mt getdensity'.
|
|
11. This is Exabyte 8200 uncompressed format. The compressed format
|
|
density code is 0x90.
|
|
12. This is Exabyte 8500 uncompressed format. The compressed format
|
|
density code is 0x8c.
|
|
13. This density code (0x48) was also used for DAT-160.

|
|
This is the pathname of the tape drive.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The exit status will be 0 when the drive operations were successful,
|
|
2 when the drive operations were unsuccessful, and 1 for other
|
|
problems like an unrecognized command or a missing drive device.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
Some undocumented commands support old software.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Extensions regarding the
|
|
.Xr st 4
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Bx 386 0.1
|
|
as a separate
|
|
.Nm st
|
|
command, and have been merged into the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command in
|
|
.Fx 2.1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The former
|
|
.Cm eof
|
|
command that used to be a synonym for
|
|
.Cm weof
|
|
has been abandoned in
|
|
.Fx 2.1
|
|
since it was often confused with
|
|
.Cm eom ,
|
|
which is fairly dangerous.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The utility cannot be interrupted or killed during a long erase
|
|
(which can be longer than an hour), and it is easy to forget
|
|
that the default erase is long.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Hardware block numbers do not always correspond to blocks on the tape
|
|
when the drive uses internal compression.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Erasure is not guaranteed if the tape is not at its beginning.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Tape-related documentation is poor, here and elsewhere.
