NAME

       cmdk - common disk driver

SYNOPSIS

       cmdk@target, lun : [ partition | slice ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cmdk  device  driver  is  a  common interface to various disk devices. The driver supports magnetic fixed disks and magnetic removable
       disks.

       The block-files access the disk using the system's normal buffering mechanism and are read and written  without	regard	to  physical  disk
       records. There is also a "raw" interface that provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A sin-
       gle read or write call usually results in one I/O operation; raw I/O is therefore considerably more efficient when many bytes are transmit-
       ted. The names of the block files are found in /dev/dsk; the names of the raw files are found in /dev/rdsk.

       I/O  requests  to the magnetic disk must have an offset and transfer length that is a multiple of 512 bytes or the driver returns an EINVAL
       error.

       Slice 0 is normally used for the root file system on a disk, slice 1 as a paging area (for example, swap), and slice 2 for backing  up  the
       entire fdisk partition for Solaris software. Other slices may be used for usr file systems or system reserved area.

       Fdisk partition 0 is to access the entire disk and is generally used by the fdisk(1M) program.
