It allows the disk to be divided up into a set of pseudo devices called .Em partitions . .Pp When the .Tn SCSI adapter is probed during boot, the .Tn SCSI bus is scanned for devices. Any devices found which answer as .Sq Em Direct type devices will be attached to the .Nm driver. The devices will be attached as .Li sdN devices, matching their .Tn SCSI identifiers. For example, a disk with .Tn SCSI id set to 6 will attach as .Li sd6 . .Sh PARTITIONING .Xr disklabel 8 is used to partition the drive into filesystems. .Sh IOCTLS The following .Xr ioctl 2 calls apply to .Tn SCSI disks as well as to other disks. They are defined in the header file .Aq Pa sys/disklabel.h . .Pp .Bl -tag -width DIOCSDINFO .\".It Dv DIOCSBAD .\"Usually used to set up a bad-block mapping system on the disk. .\".Tn SCSI .\"drive incorporate their own bad-block mapping so this command is not .\"implemented. .It Dv DIOCGDINFO Read, from the kernel, the in-core copy of the disklabel for the drive. This may be a fictitious disklabel if the drive has never been initialized, in which case it will contain information read from the .Tn SCSI inquiry commands. .It Dv DIOCSDINFO Give the driver a new disklabel to use. The driver .Em will not write the new disklabel to the disk. .It Dv DIOCWLABEL Enable or disable the driver's software write protect of the disklabel on the disk. .It Dv DIOCWDINFO Give the driver a new disklabel to use. The driver .Em will write the new disklabel to the disk. .It Dv DIOCLOCK Lock the media cartridge into the device, or unlock a cartridge previously locked. Used to prevent user and software eject while the media is in use. .It Dv DIOCEJECT Eject the media cartridge from a removable device. .El .Pp In addition, the .Tn SCSI general .Fn ioctl commands may be used with the .Nm driver, but only against the .Sq Li c (whole disk) partition. .Sh NOTES If a removable device is attached to the .Nm driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the disklabel and information held within the kernel. To avoid corruption, all access 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 next open will load a new set of parameters (including disklabel) for the drive. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/rsdXXXXX -compact .It Pa /dev/sd Ns Ar u Ns Ar p block mode .Tn SCSI disk unit .Ar u , partition .Ar p .It Pa /dev/rsd Ns Ar u Ns Ar p raw mode .Tn SCSI disk unit .Ar u , partition .Ar p .Sm off .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr \&ct 4 , .Xr hd 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr oscsi 4 , .Xr st 4 , .Xr disklabel 5 , .Xr disklabel 8
