.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "master mt0 at mba? drive ? tape mu0 at mt0 slave 0"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn TM78 Ns / Tn TU-78
|
|
combination provides a standard tape drive
|
|
interface as described in
|
|
.Xr mtio 4 .
|
|
Only 1600 and 6250
|
|
.Tn BPI
|
|
are supported; the
|
|
.Tn TU-78
|
|
runs at 125
|
|
.Tn IPS
|
|
and autoloads tapes.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It mu%d: no write ring.
|
|
An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
|
|
when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
|
|
the user who tried to access the tape.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It mu%d: not online.
|
|
An attempt was made to access the tape while it
|
|
was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
|
|
who tried to access the tape.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It "mu%d: can't change density in mid-tape."
|
|
An attempt was made to write
|
|
on a tape at a different density than is already recorded on the tape.
|
|
This message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to switch
|
|
the density.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It "mu%d: hard error bn%d mbsr=%b er=%x ds=%b."
|
|
A tape error occurred
|
|
at block
|
|
.Em bn ;
|
|
the mt error register and drive status register are
|
|
printed in octal with the bits symbolically decoded. Any error is
|
|
fatal on non-raw tape; when possible the driver will have retried
|
|
the operation which failed several times before reporting the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It mu%d: blank tape.
|
|
An attempt was made to read a blank tape (a tape without even
|
|
end-of-file marks).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It mu%d: offline.
|
|
During an i/o operation the device was set offline. If a
|
|
non-raw tape was used in the access it is closed.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.1 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
If a physical error (non-data) occurs,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may hang ungracefully.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because 800
|
|
.Tn BPI
|
|
tapes are not supported, the numbering of minor devices
|
|
is inconsistent with triple-density tape units.
|
|
Unit 0 is drive 0, 1600
|
|
.Tn BPI.
