cam-cdrom.so
Provide a common access method for CD-ROMs
Syntax:
driver ... cdrom cdrom_options ... &
Runs on:
Neutrino
Options:
- driver
- One of the devb-* drivers.
The cdrom options control the driver's interface to cam-cdrom.so for CD-ROM devices. If specified, they must follow the cdrom keyword:
- name=prefix
- Specify the device prefix (default: cd);
- retries=num:path_id:target:lun
- Set the maximum number of command retries on the specified path, target, and lun. The default is 10.
- timeout=time:path_id:target:lun
- Set the command timeout on the specified path, target, and lun. The default for a CD-ROM is 10 seconds; for a CD changer, it's 20 seconds.
- verbose[=level]
- Be verbose. If you don't specify a level, cam-cdrom.so increments the current level by one.
Description:
The cam-cdrom.so shared object provides common access methods (CAMs) for CD-ROM devices.
