New Revision: 279534
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/279534
Log:
Change the sa(4) driver to check for long position support on
SCSI-2 devices.
Some older tape devices claim to be SCSI-2, but actually do support
long position information. (Long position information includes
the current file mark.) For example, the COMPAQ SuperDLT1.
So we now only disable the check on SCSI-1 and older devices.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c:
In saregister(), only disable fetching long position
information on SCSI-1 and older drives. Update the
comment to explain why.
