CD(9)

NAME
cd - device driver for SCSI subsystem

DESCRIPTION
The cd device driver provides the SCSI subsystem a way to handle type 5 (T_READONLY) media. Some drives don't behave as the driver expects. See the section QUIRKS for info on possible flags.

QUIRKS
Each CD-ROM device can have different interpretations of the SCSI spec. This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver. The following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize. See scsiconf(9) for more information on how to add quirk entries.

CD_Q_NO_TOUCH
    This flag tell the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if there is a disk in the drive and find out what size it is.

FILES
/sys/scsi/cd.c
    files contains actual driver code
/sys/scsi/scsiconf.h
