.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm wd
|
|
.Nd WD100x compatible hard disk driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "wd* at atabus? drive ? flags 0x0000"
|
|
.Cd "wd* at umass?"
|
|
.Cd options WD_SOFTBADSECT
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm wd
|
|
driver supports hard disks that emulate the Western
|
|
Digital WD100x.
|
|
This includes standard MFM, RLL, ESDI, IDE, and EIDE drives.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flags are used only with controllers that support DMA operations and
|
|
mode settings (like some pciide controllers).
|
|
The lowest order nibble (rightmost digit) of the flags defines the PIO mode,
|
|
the next four bits define the DMA mode and the third nibble defines the
|
|
UltraDMA mode.
|
|
For each set of four bits, the 3 lower bits define the mode to use
|
|
and the last bit must be set to 1 for this setting to be used.
|
|
For DMA and UDMA, 0xf (1111) means 'disable'.
|
|
For example, a flags value of 0x0fac (1111 1010 1100)
|
|
means 'use PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, disable UltraDMA'.
|
|
0x0000 means "use whatever the drive claims to support."
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel configuration option
|
|
.Dq Cd options WD_SOFTBADSECT
|
|
enables a software managed bad-sector list which will prevent further accesses
|
|
to sectors where an unrecoverable read error occured.
|
|
A user interface is provided by
|
|
.Xr dkctl 8 .
|
|
Unlike the (historical) mechanisms provided by
|
|
.Xr bad144 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr badsect 8
|
|
the software list does neither support sector replacement nor is it saved
|
|
across reboots.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The optional software bad sector list does not interoperate well with
|
|
sector remapping features of modern disks.
|
|
To let the disk remap a sector internally, the software bad sector list
|
|
must be flushed or disabled before.
