Open Media Now launched to boost digital freedom

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Already known for its development of a free Flash player, the Gnash project is now the nucleus of a much larger effort. Called the Open Media Now Foundation (OMNF), the group's goal is to encourage the development "of an open media infrastructure," according its home page. Registered as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization in the United States, the new organization is actively seeking corporate members, although it accepts donations from individuals as well.

NAME

       dda - MMS disk archiving driver

SYNOPSIS

       /devices/pseudo/dda@lun:bn

DESCRIPTION

       The  Media Management System (MMS) is a distributed removable media management system based on the IEEE 1244 Media Management System speci-
       fication. MMS provides a uniform and consistent tape interface to client applications.

       The dda driver is a pseudo tape drive with filesystem file media. The dda driver is a minimal emulation of the st(7D) tape driver  mtio(7I)
       interface  with	BSD no-rewind behavior and is used for MMS disk archiving. The dda driver should be used with a MMS MMP mount command han-
       dle. You configure DDA tapes, drives, and libraries for disk archiving using the mmsadm(1M) command. You also use mmsadm(1M) to	mount  and
       unmount dda media.

CONFIGURATION

       To  set	the  number  of disk archiving tape drives available for MMS disk archiving, edit the /kernel/drv/dda.conf configuration file. The
       default number of disk archiving tape drives is 20.

       The disk archiving tape drive devlinks are located in the /dev/dda directory.

       The DDA maximum block size is 262144 bytes and the minimum is 1 byte.

FILES

       /kernel/drv/dda		  32-bit kernel module (x86)

       /kernel/drv/sparcv9/dda	  64-bit kernel module (SPARC)

       /kernel/drv/amd64/dda	  64-bit kernel module (x86)

       /kernel/drv/dda.conf	  dda configuration file
