Norwegian University of Technology and Science
>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE i386
>Environment:
This was on a -stable kernel, with the exabyte 8mm tape+changer
on a symbios (ncr) 810 scsi adapter, in case it matters.
>Description:
Here's yet another SCSI-device that doesn't support LUNs.
The "EXABYTE EXB-10i 3.1" identified as a type 8 removable SCSI 2,
Medium-Changer 10 slots, 1 drive, 1 picker.
I got very nice and understandable errror messages, though,
and it doesn't really cause any problems. (I got lots of
"offline" changers :-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Borrow one of these antiques and connect to your FreeBSD
system.
>Fix:
It would be nice with a comment that says explicitly what
SC_SHOWME, SC_ONE_LU and SC_MORE_LUS should be used for.
I still don't understand what most of the entries in scsiconf.c
are needed for at all.
I guessed that SC_ONE_LU would inhibit probing of LUNs > 0,
and that seems to be the case. With the below patch I just
get one ch0 device and no warnings/errors during boot.
