I have a SONY SMO C501-00 600MB/512-byte optical disk drive, connected
to a 3/400 AXP running DU 3.2. Although I have added entries in
/sys/data/cam_data.c and /etc/disktab for this device, /sbin/scu show
dev reports the device type to be "Direct Access" and not "Optical."
What are the steps to get the device to report itself as "Optical"
and/or is it important that the device does not report itself as
"Optical?"
The thing which concerns me is that we are mostly using 1.2
GB disks now at our site and I cannot label these disks on this
drive/machine combo or create low density (300 MB) filesystems
(yes I know this is a waste of disk space). Its not apparent to me if
this "Optical/Direct Access" is an issue here.
/sbin/scu show device reports:
# /sbin/scu show device target 1 bus 1 lun 0
