31.Dt CD 9
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm cd
35.Nd CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39device driver provides a read only interface for CDROM drives
40.Tn ( SCSI
41type 5)
42and WORM drives
43.Tn ( SCSI
44type 4)
45that support CDROM type commands.
46Some drives do not behave as the driver expects.
47See the
48.Sx QUIRKS
49section for information on possible flags.
50.Sh QUIRKS
51Each
52.Tn CD-ROM
53device can have different interpretations of the
54.Tn SCSI
55spec.
56This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.
57The following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.
58.Bl -tag -width CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
59.It Dv CD_Q_NO_TOUCH
60This flag tells the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if
61there is a disk in the drive and find out what size it is.
62This flag is currently unimplemented in the CAM
63.Nm
64driver.
65.It Dv CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
66This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD
67instead of straight decimal.
68If the drive seems to skip tracks
69(tracks 10-15 are skipped)
70then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
71.It Dv CD_Q_NO_CHANGER
72This flag tells the driver that the device in question is not a changer.
73This is only necessary for a CDROM device with multiple luns that are not a
74part of a changer.
75.It Dv CD_Q_CHANGER
76This flag tells the driver that the given device is a multi-lun changer.
77In general, the driver will figure this out automatically when it sees a
78LUN greater than 0.
79Setting this flag only has the effect of telling the
80driver to run the initial read capacity command for LUN 0 of the changer
81through the changer scheduling code.
82.It Dv CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
83This flag tells the driver that the given device only accepts 10 byte MODE
84SENSE/MODE SELECT commands.
85In general these types of quirks should not be
86added to the
87.Xr cd 4
88driver.
89The reason is that the driver does several things to attempt to
90determine whether the drive in question needs 10 byte commands.
91First, it
92issues a CAM Path Inquiry command to determine whether the protocol that
93the drive speaks typically only allows 10 byte commands.
94(ATAPI and USB
95are two prominent examples of protocols where you generally only want to
96send 10 byte commands.)
97Then, if it gets an ILLEGAL REQUEST error back
98from a 6 byte MODE SENSE or MODE SELECT command, it attempts to send the 10
99byte version of the command instead.
100The only reason you would need a
101quirk is if your drive uses a protocol (e.g.,
102.Tn SCSI )
103that typically does not have a problem with 6 byte commands.
