46.Sh SYNOPSIS
47.Cd "rlc0 at uba? csr 0177440"
48.Cd "rl0 at rlc0 drive 0"
49.Cd "rl* at rlc? drive ?"
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm rl
53driver
54is a typical block-device disk driver; block device
55.Tn I/O
56is
57described in
58.Xr physio 4 .
59.Pp
60The script
61.Xr MAKEDEV 8
62should be used to create the special files; if a special file
63needs to be created by hand consult
64.Xr mknod 8 .

72.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
73.Bl -diag
74.It "rl%d: operation incomplete"
75The current command to the disk did not complete within the timeout period.
76This may be due to hardware failure or a heavily loaded Unibus.
77.It "rl%d: read data CRC"
78The controller detected a CRC error on data read from the disk. Probably
79a bad disk pack.
80.It "rl%d: header CRC"
81The controller detected a CRC error on header data read from the disk.
82Probably a bad disk pack.
83.It "rl%d: data late"
84The controller was not able to transfer data over the bus fast enough to
85not overflow/underflow the internal FIFO, probably because a heavily
86loaded Unibus or mis-ordered Unibus devices.
87.It "rl%d: header not found"
88The requested sector was not found before the timer expired. If this error
89is the only error then it may indicate a software bug.
90.It "rl%d: non-existent memory"
91The controller tried to do DMA to/from a non-mapped address. This is a
92software bug.
93.It "rl%d: memory parity error"
94The host memory data sent had a parity error. This is a hardware failure.

101.Sh HISTORY
102The
103.Nm
104driver has been around nearly forever.
105.br
106A complete new
107.Nm
108driver showed up in
109.Nx 1.5 .
110.Sh BUGS
111Error handling is less than optimal.
112.Pp
113Seeks should be interleaved between multiple disks.
