takes to do IELEM can be proportional to the number of elements, but is
also affected by wierd things like how readable the barcodes on the
media are. There are worst case scenarios I've seen where there are
white labels on the back of tapes with pencilled in labels which is
*just* close enough to being a bar code that an Exabyte 120 would
peer at them myopically and long enough for a *really* long time to
pass in inventorying the jukebox.
I've upped the limit to be proportional to 5 minutes per element. That
is long enough that someone I'm sure will complain about "you wait
to long and should time out" for broken h/w.
As is also noted in the PR, there are a lot of other issues here. It's
really also a question as to whether to update this driver or go
with CAM's driver. This one doesn't have switching between block
descriptors and not, doesn't support volume tag setting, and so on.
Time is limited. This PR should have been closed and fixed right away,
tho.
- Indent with tab of width 8.
- Use four column to indent continuation line.
- Fold long line if possible.
- Use return (xx) instead of return xx.
- Compare pointer against NULL instead of testing like boolean.
- Delete whitespace at the end of line.
- Delete whitespace in front of function call operator.
- Delete whitespace after cast.
- Dereference a pointer to function explicitly.
- Add an empty line after local variable declaration.
- Use NULL instead of (char *)0.
- Dont use block for single statement.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
- Implement a simple quirks framework for changers.
- Add a quirk for the Spectra 9000 8mm tape library; it requires a
slightly-longer-than-1-minute delay to take tape inventory. Many
thanks to David Webster at Cygnus Solutions for testing this for me.
influence from the old driver (written by Stefan Grefen) and from
an autochanger driver written by the Systems Programming Group at the
University of Utah Computer Science Department (currently residing
in src/sys/arch/hp300/dev/ac.c).
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
