Unix devices

Hi I am trying to determine the access to unix devices. I found the follow access description which I have been told is a symbolic link and is not the actual file. I was also told that all symbolic links will have rwxrwxrwx access. kmem: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 27 May 28 16:06 /dev/kmem ->...

USB Devices

I am trying to get a flash card reader to work with my machine. My question is, are all of my USB ports screwed up? Do I need to buy a seperate USB controller? I does not appear that the onboard USB ports work. In trying to get it to work, I typed cat /proc/scsi/scsi and got this: # cat...

Meta Devices

I have added a sun storage array from a faiulty server onto a new server and copied the md.conf files etc. I can now access the /dev/md/dsk file systems, but I want to delete some metadevices that do not exist (it still thinks the 0 and 1 (root /var /export) disk are mirrored. How do I do this?

passthrough devices vs. named devices

I am having trouble understanding the difference between a passthrough device and a named device and when you would use one or the other to access equipment. As an example, we have a tape library and giving the command "camcontrol devlist" gives the following output: akx# camcontrol...

clone

clone(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						  clone(7)

NAME

       clone - opens a major and minor device pair on a STREAMS driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  driver is a "pass through" device driver that allows other drivers to select unique minor device numbers on each In effect, the driver
       passes an open operation through to the other driver.  This mechanism allows for multiple instantiations of a driver, each with a different
       minor number, through a single device file.

       When  the  driver  is opened, it is passed a major and minor device number by the operating system.  The major number is the driver's major
       number (72), and the minor number is the major number of the driver the user wishes to clone (referred to here as the target driver).   The
       driver  calls the open routine of the target driver with the flag which specifies a clone open.	The target driver's open routine allocates
       an unused minor number.	The target driver must use to make a new device number for the newly created device,  and  must  set  to  the  new
       device  number  returned  by The new device number is returned to the open through The open then returns to the user a file descriptor that
       points to the new instantiation of the target driver.

       The driver is an example of a clonable driver.

   Notes
       It is not possible to do multiple opens of a device with the same major and minor number using the driver.  This is because the	driver	is
       only given the major number of the driver to be cloned, and that driver will then select a minor number which has not been opened.

       When  called  with  a  pathname	which  corresponds  to the clonable driver, will return different results than when it is called on a file
       descriptor returned from of the same clonable driver pathname.

RETURN VALUES

       If the driver is given an invalid minor number, or if the driver indicated is not a clonable driver, the fails and is set to [ENXIO].
