3. For a recorder drive you want to use for incremental writing from the
file system, choose the syntax drive=* (see also “Burning disks in-
crementally” on page 151).
4. In all other cases, use the syntax drive=… .
For example, if you want the server to control a single drive that the ge-
neric SCSI driver presents as
\\.\p0b0t4 or /dev/iXOS_SCSI0/4
the device description file should look like this:
Windows NT UNIX
device=single device=single
drive=\\.\p0b0t4 drive=/dev/iXOS_SCSI0/4
Similarly, a device description file for a pioneer6 changer would look like
this:
device=pioneer6 device=pioneer6
drive=\\.\p0b0t4 drive=/dev/iXOS_SCSI0/4
Note: The drives in the device description file must be in the same order
as the drive numbers in the jukebox and not in the order of the
SCSI IDs. This applies to all jukeboxes with several SCSI IDs for
the drives. See the documentation that came with the jukebox for
more information on the drive order. The first physical drive of the
jukebox must be the first drive in the device description file.
If the device type is a hard disk image, the drive parameter must be
specified as one or more file names with an ISO image. (see “Disk images
on hard disk” on page 209).
Slot set-up
Using the parameter disks=<slots> you can specify the slots to be used
by the server. Sometimes it can be useful to use only some of the slots,
for instance during set-up or when writable disks are stored in unused
slots (reading empty disks can take some time depending on the drive). If
the server is to use no slot at all, you can specify “disks=-”. In this case
each disk has to be tested individually to be made known to the server,
and the server forgets about the disks when it is shut down.
