346 is changed in a drive controlled by the
348 driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the
349 disklabel and information held within the kernel.
351 all accesses to the device will be discarded until there are no more
352 open file descriptors referencing the device.
353 During this period, all
354 new open attempts will be rejected.
355 When no more open file descriptors
356 reference the device, the first next open will load a new set of
357 parameters (including disklabel) for the drive.
359 The audio code in the
363 standard audio commands.
366 manufacturers have not followed the standard, there are many
368 drives for which audio will not work.
369 Some work is planned to support
370 some of the more common `broken'
372 drives; however, this is not yet under way.
376 driver attempts to automatically determine whether the drive it is talking
377 to supports 6 byte or 10 byte MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT operations.
380 drives only support 6 byte commands, and
382 drives only support 10 byte commands.
385 driver first attempts to determine whether the protocol in use typically
386 supports 6 byte commands by issuing a CAM Path Inquiry CCB.
387 It will then default to 6 byte or 10 byte commands as appropriate.
390 driver defaults to using 6 byte commands (assuming the protocol the drive
391 speaks claims to support 6 byte commands), until one fails with a
393 ILLEGAL REQUEST error.
394 Then it tries the 10 byte version of the command to
395 see if that works instead.
396 Users can change the default via per-drive
397 sysctl variables and loader tunables.
398 The variable names are the same in
401 .Va kern.cam.cd.%d.minimum_cmd_size
405 is the unit number of the drive in question.
406 Valid minimum command sizes
408 Any value above 6 will be rounded to 10, and any value below
409 6 will be rounded to 6.
410 .Sh CHANGER OPERATION
411 This driver has built-in support for LUN-based CD changers.
413 changer is a drive that can hold two or more CDs, but only has one CD
415 Each CD in the drive shows up as a separate logical unit
421 driver automatically recognizes LUN-based changers, and routes commands for
422 changers through an internal scheduler.
423 The scheduler prevents changer
424 "thrashing", which is caused by sending commands to different LUNs in the
425 changer at the same time.
427 The scheduler honors minimum and maximum time
428 quanta that the driver will spend on a particular LUN.
430 is the guaranteed minimum amount of time that the driver will spend on a
431 given LUN, even if there is no outstanding I/O for that LUN.
433 time is the maximum amount of time the changer will spend on a LUN if there
434 is outstanding I/O for another LUN.
435 If there is no outstanding I/O for
436 another LUN, the driver will allow indefinite access to a given LUN.
438 The minimum and maximum time quanta are configurable via kernel options and
439 also via sysctl and kernel tunable variables.
440 The kernel options are:
444 .Cd "options ""CHANGER_MIN_BUSY_SECONDS=3"""
446 .Cd "options ""CHANGER_MAX_BUSY_SECONDS=11"""
449 The sysctl/kernel tunable variables are:
453 .Va kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds
455 .Va kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds
458 It is suggested that the user try experimenting with the minimum and
459 maximum timeouts via the sysctl variables to arrive at the proper values
461 Once you have settled on the proper timeouts for your
462 changer, you can then put them in your kernel config file.
464 If your system does have a LUN-based changer, you may notice that the
465 probe messages for the various LUNs of the changer will continue to appear
466 while the boot process is going on.
467 This is normal, and is caused by the
468 changer scheduling code.
470 .Bl -tag -width /dev/cd[0-9][a-h] -compact
471 .It Pa /dev/cd[0-9][a-h]
485 The names of the structures used for the third argument to
487 were poorly chosen, and a number of spelling errors have survived in
492 There is no mechanism currently to set different minimum and maximum
493 timeouts for different CD changers; the timeout values set by the kernel
494 options or the sysctl variables apply to all LUN-based CD changers in the
496 It is possible to implement such support, but the sysctl
497 implementation at least would be rather inelegant, because of the current
498 inability of the sysctl code to handle the addition of nodes after compile
500 Thus, it would take one dynamically sized sysctl variable and a
501 userland utility to get/set the timeout values.
502 Implementation of separate
503 timeouts for different CD devices in the kernel config file would likely
504 require modification of
506 to support the two timeouts when hardwiring
