cam-disk.so

Provide a common access method for hard disks

Syntax:

driver ... disk disk_options ... &

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

driver
One of the devb-* drivers.

The disk options control the driver's interface to cam-disk.so. If specified, they must follow the disk keyword:

name=prefix[@device_number]
Specify the device prefix and optionally where to start numbering the devices from:

Caution: Specify device numbers only on a closed system where you know all the devices and indexes.

The default is hd.

retries=num@path_id:target:lun
Set the maximum number of command retries on path N, target N, and LUN N. The default is 10.
rmb=true|false@path_id:target:lun
Set or clear the device as being removable on path N, target N, and LUN N.
timeout=g1:g2:g3:rw@path_id:target:lun
Set the rw and group command timeouts on path N, target N, and LUN N. The defaults are the values from the Timeout & Protect mode page if supported, otherwise 60:90:10:10 (in seconds).
translation=heads[:sectors[@path_ID[:target[:lun]]]]
Specify the geometry explicitly; this overrides the geometry from the BIOS and the partition table. The arguments are:
verbose=verbosity@path_id:target:lun
Set the verbosity level on path N, target N, and LUN N.

The cam-disk.so provides common access methods (CAMs) for hard disk devices.
