42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "rlc0 at uba? csr 0177440"
44.Cd "rl0 at rlc0 drive 0"
45.Cd "rl* at rlc? drive ?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm rl
49driver
50is a typical block-device disk driver; block device
51.Tn I/O
52is
53described in
54.Xr physio 4 .
55.Pp
56The script
57.Xr MAKEDEV 8
58should be used to create the special files; if a special file
59needs to be created by hand consult
60.Xr mknod 8 .

68.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
69.Bl -diag
70.It "rl%d: operation incomplete"
71The current command to the disk did not complete within the timeout period.
72This may be due to hardware failure or a heavily loaded UNIBUS.
73.It "rl%d: read data CRC"
74The controller detected a CRC error on data read from the disk.
75Probably a bad disk pack.
76.It "rl%d: header CRC"
77The controller detected a CRC error on header data read from the disk.
78Probably a bad disk pack.
79.It "rl%d: data late"
80The controller was not able to transfer data over the bus fast enough to
81not overflow/underflow the internal FIFO, probably because a heavily
82loaded UNIBUS or mis-ordered UNIBUS devices.
83.It "rl%d: header not found"
84The requested sector was not found before the timer expired.
85If this error is the only error then it may indicate a software bug.
86.It "rl%d: non-existent memory"
87The controller tried to do DMA to/from a non-mapped address.
88This is a software bug.
89.It "rl%d: memory parity error"
90The host memory data sent had a parity error.
91This is a hardware failure.

98.Sh HISTORY
99The
100.Nm
101driver has been around nearly forever.
102.Pp
103A complete new
104.Nm
105driver showed up in
106.Nx 1.5 .
107.Sh BUGS
108Error handling is less than optimal.
109.Pp
110Seeks should be interleaved between multiple disks.
