31.Sh NAME
32.Nm cd
33.Nd SCSI CD-ROM driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device cd
36.Cd "options ""CHANGER_MIN_BUSY_SECONDS=3"""
37.Cd "options ""CHANGER_MAX_BUSY_SECONDS=11"""
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for a
42.Tn SCSI
43.Tn CD-ROM
44(Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) drive.
45In an attempt to look like a regular disk, the
46.Nm
47driver synthesizes a partition table, with one partition covering the entire
48.Tn CD-ROM .
49It is possible to modify this partition table using
50.Xr disklabel 8 ,
51but it will only last until the
52.Tn CD-ROM
53is unmounted.
54In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
55.Xr ada 4
56and
57.Xr da 4 .
58.Pp
59As the
60.Tn SCSI
61adapter is probed during boot, the
62.Tn SCSI
63bus is scanned for devices.
64Any devices found which answer as CDROM
65(type 5) or WORM (type 4) type devices will be `attached' to the
66.Nm
67driver.
68Prior to
69.Fx 2.1 ,
70the first device found will be attached as
71.Li cd0
72the next,
73.Li cd1 ,
74etc.
75Beginning in
76.Fx 2.1
77it is possible to specify what cd unit a device should
78come on line as; refer to
79.Xr scsi 4
80for details on kernel configuration.
81.Pp
82The system utility
83.Xr disklabel 8
84may be used to read the synthesized
85disk label
86structure, which will contain correct figures for the size of the
87.Tn CD-ROM
88should that information be required.
89.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
90Any number of
91.Tn CD-ROM
92devices may be attached to the system regardless of system
93configuration as all resources are dynamically allocated.
94.Sh IOCTLS
95The following
96.Xr ioctl 2
97calls which apply to
98.Tn SCSI
99.Tn CD-ROM
100drives are defined

256.Tn CD-ROM .
257.It Dv CDIOCCLOSE
258Tell the drive to close its door and load the media.

260.El
261.Sh NOTES
262When a
263.Tn CD-ROM
264is changed in a drive controlled by the
265.Nm
266driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the
267disklabel and information held within the kernel.
268To stop corruption,
269all accesses to the device will be discarded until there are no more
270open file descriptors referencing the device.
271During this period, all
272new open attempts will be rejected.
273When no more open file descriptors
274reference the device, the first next open will load a new set of
275parameters (including disklabel) for the drive.
276.Pp
277The audio code in the
278.Nm
279driver only support
280.Tn SCSI-2
281standard audio commands.
282As many
283.Tn CD-ROM
284manufacturers have not followed the standard, there are many
285.Tn CD-ROM
286drives for which audio will not work.
287Some work is planned to support
288some of the more common `broken'
289.Tn CD-ROM
290drives; however, this is not yet under way.
291.Sh CHANGER OPERATION
292This driver has built-in support for LUN-based CD changers.
293A LUN-based CD
294changer is a drive that can hold two or more CDs, but only has one CD
295player mechanism.
296Each CD in the drive shows up as a separate logical unit
297on the
298.Tn SCSI
299bus.
300The
301.Nm
302driver automatically recognizes LUN-based changers, and routes commands for
303changers through an internal scheduler.
304The scheduler prevents changer
305"thrashing", which is caused by sending commands to different LUNs in the
306changer at the same time.
307.Pp
308The scheduler honors minimum and maximum time
309quanta that the driver will spend on a particular LUN.
310The minimum time
311is the guaranteed minimum amount of time that the driver will spend on a
312given LUN, even if there is no outstanding I/O for that LUN.
313The maximum
314time is the maximum amount of time the changer will spend on a LUN if there
315is outstanding I/O for another LUN.
316If there is no outstanding I/O for
317another LUN, the driver will allow indefinite access to a given LUN.
318.Pp
319The minimum and maximum time quanta are configurable via kernel options and
320also via sysctl and kernel tunable variables.
321The kernel options are:
322.Pp
323.Bl -item -compact
324.It
325.Cd "options ""CHANGER_MIN_BUSY_SECONDS=3"""
326.It
327.Cd "options ""CHANGER_MAX_BUSY_SECONDS=11"""
328.El
329.Pp
330The sysctl/kernel tunable variables are:
331.Pp
332.Bl -item -compact
333.It
334.Va kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds
335.It
336.Va kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds
337.El
338.Pp
339It is suggested that the user try experimenting with the minimum and
340maximum timeouts via the sysctl variables to arrive at the proper values
341for your changer.
342Once you have settled on the proper timeouts for your
343changer, you can then put them in your kernel config file.
344.Pp
345If your system does have a LUN-based changer, you may notice that the
346probe messages for the various LUNs of the changer will continue to appear
347while the boot process is going on.
348This is normal, and is caused by the
349changer scheduling code.
350.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
351The following variables are available as both
352.Xr sysctl 8
353variables and
354.Xr loader 8
355tunables:
356.Bl -tag -width 12
357.It kern.cam.cd.retry_count
358.Pp
359This variable determines how many times the
360.Nm
361driver will retry a READ or WRITE command.
362This does not affect the number of retries used during probe time or for
363the
364.Nm
365driver dump routine.
366This value currently defaults to 4.
367.It kern.cam.cd.%d.minimum_cmd_size
368.Pp
369The
370.Nm
371driver attempts to automatically determine whether the drive it is talking
372to supports 6 byte or 10 byte MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT operations.
373Many
374.Tn SCSI
375drives only support 6 byte commands, and
376.Tn ATAPI
377drives only support 10 byte commands.
378The
379.Nm
380driver first attempts to determine whether the protocol in use typically
381supports 6 byte commands by issuing a CAM Path Inquiry CCB.
382It will then default to 6 byte or 10 byte commands as appropriate.
383After that, the
384.Nm
385driver defaults to using 6 byte commands (assuming the protocol the drive
386speaks claims to support 6 byte commands), until one fails with a
387.Tn SCSI
388ILLEGAL REQUEST error.
389Then it tries the 10 byte version of the command to
390see if that works instead.
391Users can change the default via per-drive
392sysctl variables and loader tunables.
393Where
394.Dq %d
395is the unit number of the drive in question.
396Valid minimum command sizes
397are 6 and 10.
398Any value above 6 will be rounded to 10, and any value below
3996 will be rounded to 6.
400.It kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds
401.It kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds
402.Pp
403Tune how long individual LUNs are 'locked' for I/O operations to
404optimize changer operation.
405See CHANGER OPERATION section for information on how to use these items.

421.Sh HISTORY
422This
423.Nm
424driver is based upon the
425.Nm
426driver written by Julian Elischer, which appeared in
427.Bx 386 0.1 .
428The
429CAM version of the
430.Nm
431driver was written by Kenneth Merry and first appeared in
432.Fx 3.0 .
433.Sh BUGS
434The names of the structures used for the third argument to
435.Fn ioctl
436were poorly chosen, and a number of spelling errors have survived in
437the names of the
438.Fn ioctl
439commands.
440.Pp
441There is no mechanism currently to set different minimum and maximum
442timeouts for different CD changers; the timeout values set by the kernel
443options or the sysctl variables apply to all LUN-based CD changers in the
444system.
445It is possible to implement such support, but the sysctl
446implementation at least would be rather inelegant, because of the current
447inability of the sysctl code to handle the addition of nodes after compile
448time.
449Thus, it would take one dynamically sized sysctl variable and a
450userland utility to get/set the timeout values.
451Implementation of separate
452timeouts for different CD devices in the kernel config file would likely
453require modification of
454.Xr config 8
455to support the two timeouts when hardwiring
456.Nm
457devices.
458
