NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     hd - CS/80 disk interface

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     hd* at hpibbus? slave ? punit ?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This is a generic CS/80 disk driver.  Only a small number of
possible
     CS/80  drives  are supported, but others can easily be added
by adding tables
 to the driver.  It is a  typical  block-device  driver;
see physio(9).

DISK SUPPORT    [Toc]    [Back]

     The driver interrogates the controller to determine the type
of drive attached.
  The driver recognizes the following  drives:  7912,
7914, 7933,
     7936,  7937, 7945, 757A/B, 7958A/B, 7959B, 7962, 7963, 9122,
9134, 7912,
     7936, and 9122, not all of which have been tested.   Special
file names
     begin  with `hd' and `rhd' for the block and character files
respectively.
     The second component of the name, a drive unit number in the
range of zero
 to seven, is represented by a `?' in the disk layouts below.  The last
     component of the name is the file system  partition  and  is
designated by a
     letter from `a' to `h' which also corresponds to a minor device number
     set: zero to seven, eight to 15, 16 to 23 and so  forth  for
drive zero,
     drive two and drive three respectively (see physio(9)).  The
location and
     size (in sectors) of the partitions for these drives:

     The eight partitions as given support four basic,  non-overlapping layouts,
 though not all partitions exist on all drive types.

     In the first layout there are three partitions and a ``bootblock'' area.
     The bootblock area is at the beginning of the disk and holds
the standalone
 disk boot program.  The hd?a partition is for the root
file system,
     hd?b is a paging/swapping area, and hd?g is  for  everything
else.

     The  second  layout  is the same idea, but has a larger paging/swapping partition
 (hd?d) and a smaller  ``everything  else''  partition
(hd?h).  This
     layout  is better for environments which run many large processes.

     The third layout is a variation of the  second,  but  breaks
the hd?h partition
 into two partitions, hd?e and hd?f.

     The final layout is intended for a large, single file system
second disk.
     It is also used when writing out the boot program  since  it
is the only
     partition mapping the bootblock area.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     hd%d err: v%d u%d, R0x%x F0x%x A0x%x I0x%x, block %d  An unrecoverable
     data error occurred during transfer of the  specified  block
on the specified
 disk.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The current  disk  partitioning  is  totally  bogus.   CS/80
drives have 256
     byte sectors which are mapped to 512 byte ``sectors'' by the
driver.
     Since some CS/80 drives have an odd number  of  sectors  per
cylinder, the
     disk geometry used is not always accurate.

     The partition tables for the file systems should be read off
each pack,
     as they are never quite what any single  installation  would
prefer, and
     this would make packs more portable.

     A  program  to analyze the logged error information (even in
its present
     reduced form) is needed.
