SD(4)							     Linux Programmer's Manual							     SD(4)

NAME

       sd - Driver for SCSI Disk Drives

SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/hdreg.h>        /* for HDIO_GETGEO */ #include <linux/fs.h>	     /* for BLKGETSIZE and BLKRRPART */

CONFIG

       The  block device name has the following form: sdlp, where l is a letter denoting the physical drive, and p is a number denoting the parti-
       tion on that physical drive.  Often, the partition number, p, will be left off when the device corresponds to the whole drive.

       SCSI disks have a major device number of 8, and a minor device number of the form (16 * drive_number) + partition_number, where	drive_num-
       ber is the number of the physical drive in order of detection, and partition_number is as follows:

       partition 0 is the whole drive
       partitions 1-4 are the DOS "primary" partitions
       partitions 5-8 are the DOS "extended" (or "logical") partitions

       For  example,  /dev/sda	will  have  major 8, minor 0, and will refer to all of the first SCSI drive in the system; and /dev/sdb3 will have
       major 8, minor 19, and will refer to the third DOS "primary" partition on the second SCSI drive in the system.

       At this time, only block devices are provided.  Raw devices have not yet been implemented.

DESCRIPTION

       The following ioctls are provided:

       HDIO_GETGEO
	      Returns the BIOS disk parameters in the following structure:
		     struct hd_geometry {
			   unsigned char heads;
			   unsigned char sectors;
			   unsigned short cylinders;
			   unsigned long start;
		     };

	      A pointer to this structure is passed as the ioctl(2) parameter.

	      The information returned in the parameter is the disk geometry of the drive as understood by DOS!  This geometry is not the physical
	      geometry of the drive.  It is used when constructing the drive's partition table, however, and is needed for convenient operation of
	      fdisk(1), efdisk(1), and lilo(1).  If the geometry information is not available, zero will be returned for all of the parameters.

       BLKGETSIZE
	      Returns the device size in sectors.  The ioctl(2) parameter should be a pointer to a long.

       BLKRRPART
	      Forces a re-read of the SCSI disk partition tables.  No parameter is needed.

	      The scsi(4) ioctls are also supported.  If the ioctl(2) parameter is required, and it is NULL, then ioctl() will return -EINVAL.

FILES

       /dev/sd[a-h]: the whole device
       /dev/sd[a-h][0-8]: individual block partitions
