NAME

cd - SCSI CD-ROM driver

SYNOPSIS

device cd options CHANGER_MIN_BUSY_SECONDS=3 options CHANGER_MAX_BUSY_SECONDS=11

DESCRIPTION

The driver provides support for a SCSI CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) drive. In an attempt to look like a regular disk, the driver synthesizes a partition table, with one partition covering the entire CD-ROM It is possible to modify this partition table using disklabel(8), but it will only last until the CD-ROM is unmounted. In general the interfaces are similar to those described by ad(4) and da(4).

As the SCSI adapter is probed during boot, the SCSI bus is scanned for devices. Any devices found which answer as CDROM (type 5) or WORM (type 4) type devices will be `attached' to the driver. Prior to Fx 2.1 , the first device found will be attached as cd0 the next, cd1 etc. Beginning in Fx 2.1 it is possible to specify what cd unit a device should come on line as; refer to scsi(4) for details on kernel configuration.

The system utility disklabel(8) may be used to read the synthesized disk label structure, which will contain correct figures for the size of the CD-ROM should that information be required.

KERNEL CONFIGURATION

Any number of CD-ROM devices may be attached to the system regardless of system configuration as all resources are dynamically allocated.

CDIOCCLOSE
Tell the drive to close its door and load the media. Not all drives support this feature.
CDIOCPITCH
(struct ioc_pitch ) For drives that support it, this command instructs the drive to play the audio at a faster or slower rate than normal. Values of speed between -32767 and -1 result in slower playback; a zero value indicates normal speed; and values from 1 to 32767 give faster playback. Drives with less than 16 bits of resolution will silently ignore less-significant bits. The structure is defined thusly:
 struct  ioc_pitch
 {
         short   speed;
 };
 

NOTES

When a CD-ROM is changed in a drive controlled by the driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the disklabel and information held within the kernel. To stop 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.

The audio code in the driver only support SCSI-2 standard audio commands. As many CD-ROM manufacturers have not followed the standard, there are many CD-ROM drives for which audio will not work. Some work is planned to support some of the more common `broken' CD-ROM drives; however, this is not yet under way.

CHANGER OPERATION

This driver has built-in support for LUN-based CD changers. A LUN-based CD changer is a drive that can hold two or more CDs, but only has one CD player mechanism. Each CD in the drive shows up as a separate logical unit on the SCSI bus. The driver automatically recognizes LUN-based changers, and routes commands for changers through an internal scheduler. The scheduler prevents changer "thrashing", which is caused by sending commands to different LUNs in the changer at the same time.

The scheduler honors minimum and maximum time quanta that the driver will spend on a particular LUN. The minimum time is the guaranteed minimum amount of time that the driver will spend on a given LUN, even if there is no outstanding I/O for that LUN. The maximum time is the maximum amount of time the changer will spend on a LUN if there is outstanding I/O for another LUN. If there is no outstanding I/O for another LUN, the driver will allow indefinite access to a given LUN.

The minimum and maximum time quanta are configurable via kernel options and also via sysctl and kernel tunable variables. The kernel options are:

options CHANGER_MIN_BUSY_SECONDS=3
options CHANGER_MAX_BUSY_SECONDS=11

The sysctl/kernel tunable variables are:

kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds
kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds

It is suggested that the user try experimenting with the minimum and maximum timeouts via the sysctl variables to arrive at the proper values for your changer. Once you have settled on the proper timeouts for your changer, you can then put them in your kernel config file.

If your system does have a LUN-based changer, you may notice that the probe messages for the various LUNs of the changer will continue to appear while the boot process is going on. This is normal, and is caused by the changer scheduling code.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables:
kern.cam.cd.retry_count

This variable determines how many times the driver will retry a READ or WRITE command. This does not affect the number of retries used during probe time or for the driver dump routine. This value currently defaults to 4.

kern.cam.cd.%d.minimum_cmd_size

The driver attempts to automatically determine whether the drive it is talking to supports 6 byte or 10 byte MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT operations. Many SCSI drives only support 6 byte commands, and ATAPI drives only support 10 byte commands. The driver first attempts to determine whether the protocol in use typically supports 6 byte commands by issuing a CAM Path Inquiry CCB. It will then default to 6 byte or 10 byte commands as appropriate. After that, the driver defaults to using 6 byte commands (assuming the protocol the drive speaks claims to support 6 byte commands), until one fails with a SCSI ILLEGAL REQUEST error. Then it tries the 10 byte version of the command to see if that works instead. Users can change the default via per-drive sysctl variables and loader tunables. Where ``%d'' is the unit number of the drive in question. Valid minimum command sizes are 6 and 10. Any value above 6 will be rounded to 10, and any value below 6 will be rounded to 6.

kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds
kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds

Tune how long individual LUNs are 'locked' for I/O operations to optimize changer operation. See CHANGER OPERATION section for information on how to use these items.

HISTORY

This driver is based upon the driver written by Julian Elischer, which appeared in BSD 386 0.1 The CAM version of the driver was written by Kenneth Merry and first appeared in Fx 3.0 .

BUGS

The names of the structures used for the third argument to Fn ioctl were poorly chosen, and a number of spelling errors have survived in the names of the Fn ioctl commands.

There is no mechanism currently to set different minimum and maximum timeouts for different CD changers; the timeout values set by the kernel options or the sysctl variables apply to all LUN-based CD changers in the system. It is possible to implement such support, but the sysctl implementation at least would be rather inelegant, because of the current inability of the sysctl code to handle the addition of nodes after compile time. Thus, it would take one dynamically sized sysctl variable and a userland utility to get/set the timeout values. Implementation of separate timeouts for different CD devices in the kernel config file would likely require modification of config(8) to support the two timeouts when hardwiring devices.
