stinit and stinit.def 18

stinit and stinit.def 0

stinit automatically initializes SCSI tape drive modes at system startup or

reboot by sending

ioctl commands to the drive. The commands are defined in

the

stinit.def definitions text file. The text file is indexed using the inquiry data

returned by the drive (manufacturer, device, and revision). See Tape Device

and Parameter Definitions for more information about the stinit.def file.

After a new installation of the Linux operating system or a new installation of

mt-st, an stinit.def file may not exist. You can create an stinit.def file by using the

following sample file:

/usr/share/doc/mt-st-<version>/stinit.def.examples

If you modify stinit.def, you can re-initialize the SCSI tape drive modes by

rebooting the server or executing the following command:

# stinit or # stinit -f <pathname>/stinit.def

where pathname is the path where stinit.def file is stored.

By default,

stinit searches your present working directory to find the stinit.def

file. If stinit cannot find stinit.def in the working directory, it searches /etc/

stinit.def

For more information on

stinit, see the stinit(8) man page.

Tape Device and

Parameter Definitions

The stinit.def file contains definitions of tape devices and their corresponding

initialization parameters.

Some of the parameter conventions are listed in the following table:

The following example shows a single entry of a tape device in the

stinit.def

file:

# The XY dat

manufacturer=XY-COMPANY model = "UVW DRIVE" {

scsi2logical=1 # Common definitions for all modes

can-bsr can-partitions auto-lock

# Definition of modes

Item Definition

{ } Parameter definitions are delimited by { }.

name = value Definitions consist of pairs where name = value. The value

is either a numeric parameter, a string not containing

blanks, or a string enclosed within quotation marks.

= value is omitted, a value of “1” is assigned.

# If the # character appears in an input line, stinit deletes

from the buffer everything following the

# character up

to the next carriage return. This enables you to make

comments in the

stinit.def file.
