setfdprm
SETFDPRM(8) Linux Programmer's Manual SETFDPRM(8)
NAME
setfdprm - sets user-provided floppy disk parameters
SYNOPSIS
setfdprm [ -p ] device name
setfdprm [ -p ] device size sectors heads tracks stretch gap rate spec1 fmt_gap
setfdprm [ -c ] device
setfdprm [ -y ] device
setfdprm [ -n ] device
DESCRIPTION
setfdprm is a utility that can be used to load disk parameters into the auto-detecting floppy devices, to clear old parameter sets and to
disable or enable diagnostic messages.
Without any options, setfdprm loads the device (usually /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd1) with a new parameter set with the name entry found in
/etc/fdprm (usually named 360/360, etc.). These parameters stay in effect until the media is changed.
-p device name
Permanently loads a new parameter set for the specified auto-configuring floppy device for the configuration with name in
/etc/fdprm. Alternatively, the parameters can be given directly from the command line.
-c device
Clears the parameter set of the specified auto-configuring floppy device.
-y device
Enables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring floppy device.
-n device
Disables format detection messages for the specified auto-configuring floppy device.
BUGS
This documentation is grossly incomplete.
