So, I guess I'm paying the cost of not having done my research before making a purchase. I went out and bought a nice SCSI CD-R/RW drive (Ricoh MP7040S) and installed it in my 2.2.8-STABLE system before reading the worm(4) man page and discovering that only four CD-R drives are supported. Mine ain't one of them. Silly me, I supposed that a SCSI drive was a SCSI drive, sorta like tapes and hard disks. When probed at boot time, it is found by the SCSI driver and identifies itself. But then the "unknown" device is attached and nothing further interesting can be done. +--------------- | (ahc0:6:0): "RICOH CD-R/RW MP7040S 1.10" type 5 removable SCSI 2 | uk0(ahc0:6:0): Unknown +--------------- I'm willing and able to hack /sys/scsi/worm.c, but several hours of web surfing didn't uncover any programming information about this drive. Anyone out there have some documentation about quirks for this puppy? Or, do you know if it matches one of the four supported drives and I could just clone the stanzas?
