driver

SYNOPSIS

device firewire
device scbus
device da
device cd
device pass

DESCRIPTION

The sbp driver provides support for SBP-2 devices that at
tach to the
FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. It should work with SBP-2 de
vices which the
CAM layer supports, for example, HDDs, CDROM drives and DVD
drives.
Some users familiar with umass(4) might wonder why the de
vice is not
detached at the CAM layer when the device is unplugged. It
is detached
only if the device has not been plugged again during several
bus resets.
This is for preventing to detach an active file system even
when the
device cannot be probed correctly for some reason after a
bus reset or
when the device is temporary disconnected because the user
changes the
bus topology. If you want to force to detach the device,
run ``fwcontrol
-r'' several times.
Some (broken) HDDs do not work well with tagged queuing. If
you have
problems with such drives, try ``camcontrol [device id] tags
-N 1'' to
disable tagged queuing.
