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

NAME
       st - SCSI tape device

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/mtio.h>

       int ioctl(int fd, int request [, (void *)arg3]);
       int ioctl(int fd, MTIOCTOP, (struct mtop *)mt_cmd);
       int ioctl(int fd, MTIOCGET, (struct mtget *)mt_status);
       int ioctl(int fd, MTIOCPOS, (struct mtpos *)mt_pos);

DESCRIPTION
       The st driver provides the interface to a variety of SCSI tape devices.  Currently, the driver takes control of all detected devices of type “sequential-access”.
       The st driver uses major device number 9.

       Each device uses eight minor device numbers.  The lowermost five bits in the minor numbers are assigned sequentially in the order of detection.  In the 2.6  ker‐
       nel, the bits above the eight lowermost bits are concatenated to the five lowermost bits to form the tape number.  The minor numbers can be grouped into two sets
       of four numbers: the principal (auto-rewind) minor device numbers, n, and the “no-rewind” device numbers, (n + 128).  Devices opened using the  principal  device
       number  will be sent a REWIND command when they are closed.  Devices opened using the “no-rewind” device number will not.  (Note that using an auto-rewind device
       for positioning the tape with, for instance, mt does not lead to the desired result: the tape is rewound after the mt command and the next  command  starts  from
       the beginning of the tape).

       Within  each  group,  four minor numbers are available to define devices with different characteristics (block size, compression, density, etc.)  When the system
       starts up, only the first device is available.  The other three are activated when the default characteristics are defined (see below).   (By  changing  compile-
       time constants, it is possible to change the balance between the maximum number of tape drives and the number of minor numbers for each drive.  The default allo‐
       cation allows control of 32 tape drives.  For instance, it is possible to control up to 64 tape drives with two minor numbers for different options.)

       Devices are typically created by:

           mknod -m 666 /dev/st0 c 9 0
           mknod -m 666 /dev/st0l c 9 32
           mknod -m 666 /dev/st0m c 9 64
           mknod -m 666 /dev/st0a c 9 96
           mknod -m 666 /dev/nst0 c 9 128
           mknod -m 666 /dev/nst0l c 9 160
           mknod -m 666 /dev/nst0m c 9 192
           mknod -m 666 /dev/nst0a c 9 224

       There is no corresponding block device.

       The driver uses an internal buffer that has to be large enough to hold at least one tape block.  In kernels before 2.1.121, the buffer is allocated as  one  con‐
       tiguous  block.  This limits the block size to the largest contiguous block of memory the kernel allocator can provide.  The limit is currently 128 kB for 32-bit
       architectures and 256 kB for 64-bit architectures.  In newer kernels the driver allocates the buffer in several parts if necessary.  By default, the maximum num‐
       ber of parts is 16.  This means that the maximum block size is very large (2 MB if allocation of 16 blocks of 128 kB succeeds).

       The driver's internal buffer size is determined by a compile-time constant which can be overridden with a kernel startup option.  In addition to this, the driver
       tries to allocate a larger temporary buffer at run time if necessary.  However, run-time allocation of large contiguous blocks of memory may fail and it  is  ad‐
       visable not to rely too much on dynamic buffer allocation with kernels older than 2.1.121 (this applies also to demand-loading the driver with kerneld or kmod).

       The  driver  does  not specifically support any tape drive brand or model.  After system start-up the tape device options are defined by the drive firmware.  For
       example, if the drive firmware selects fixed-block mode, the tape device uses fixed-block mode.  The options can be changed with explicit ioctl(2) calls and  re‐
       main in effect when the device is closed and reopened.  Setting the options affects both the auto-rewind and the nonrewind device.

       Different  options  can be specified for the different devices within the subgroup of four.  The options take effect when the device is opened.  For example, the
       system administrator can define one device that writes in fixed-block mode with a certain block size, and one which writes in variable-block mode (if  the  drive
       supports both modes).

       The  driver  supports tape partitions if they are supported by the drive.  (Note that the tape partitions have nothing to do with disk partitions.  A partitioned
       tape can be seen as several logical tapes within one medium.)  Partition support has to be enabled with an ioctl(2).  The tape location is preserved within  each
       partition  across  partition changes.  The partition used for subsequent tape operations is selected with an ioctl(2).  The partition switch is executed together
       with the next tape operation in order to avoid unnecessary tape movement.  The maximum number of partitions on a tape  is  defined  by  a  compile-time  constant
       (originally four).  The driver contains an ioctl(2) that can format a tape with either one or two partitions.

       Device /dev/tape is usually created as a hard or soft link to the default tape device on the system.

       Starting from kernel 2.6.2, the driver exports in the sysfs directory /sys/class/scsi_tape the attached devices and some parameters assigned to the devices.

   Data transfer
       The  driver  supports operation in both fixed-block mode and variable-block mode (if supported by the drive).  In fixed-block mode the drive writes blocks of the
       specified size and the block size is not dependent on the byte counts of the write system calls.  In variable-block mode one tape block is written for each write
       call  and  the  byte count determines the size of the corresponding tape block.  Note that the blocks on the tape don't contain any information about the writing
       mode: when reading, the only important thing is to use commands that accept the block sizes on the tape.

       In variable-block mode the read byte count does not have to match the tape block size exactly.  If the byte count is larger than the  next  block  on  tape,  the
       driver returns the data and the function returns the actual block size.  If the block size is larger than the byte count, an error is returned.

       In fixed-block mode the read byte counts can be arbitrary if buffering is enabled, or a multiple of the tape block size if buffering is disabled.  Kernels before
       2.1.121 allow writes with arbitrary byte count if buffering is enabled.  In all other cases (kernel before 2.1.121 with buffering disabled or newer  kernel)  the
       write byte count must be a multiple of the tape block size.

       In  the  2.6  kernel,  the driver tries to use direct transfers between the user buffer and the device.  If this is not possible, the driver's internal buffer is
       used.  The reasons for not using direct transfers include improper alignment of the user buffer (default is 512 bytes but this can be changed by the HBA driver),
       one or more pages of the user buffer not reachable by the SCSI adapter, and so on.

       A filemark is automatically written to tape if the last tape operation before close was a write.

       When  a filemark is encountered while reading, the following happens.  If there are data remaining in the buffer when the filemark is found, the buffered data is
       returned.  The next read returns zero bytes.  The following read returns data from the next file.  The end of recorded data is signaled by returning  zero  bytes
       for two consecutive read calls.  The third read returns an error.

   Ioctls
       The  driver  supports  three ioctl(2) requests.  Requests not recognized by the st driver are passed to the SCSI driver.  The definitions below are from /usr/in‐
       clude/linux/mtio.h:

   MTIOCTOP — perform a tape operation
       This request takes an argument of type (struct mtop *).  Not all drives support all operations.  The driver returns an EIO error if the drive rejects  an  opera‐
       tion.

           /* Structure for MTIOCTOP - mag tape op command: */
           struct mtop {
               short   mt_op;       /* operations defined below */
               int     mt_count;    /* how many of them */
           };

       Magnetic tape operations for normal tape use:

       MTBSF  Backward space over mt_count filemarks.

       MTBSFM Backward space over mt_count filemarks.  Reposition the tape to the EOT side of the last filemark.

       MTBSR  Backward space over mt_count records (tape blocks).

       MTBSS  Backward space over mt_count setmarks.

       MTCOMPRESSION
              Enable  compression  of tape data within the drive if mt_count is nonzero and disable compression if mt_count is zero.  This command uses the MODE page 15
              supported by most DATs.

       MTEOM  Go to the end of the recorded media (for appending files).

       MTERASE
              Erase tape.  With 2.6 kernel, short erase (mark tape empty) is performed if the argument is zero.  Otherwise, long erase (erase all) is done.

       MTFSF  Forward space over mt_count filemarks.

       MTFSFM Forward space over mt_count filemarks.  Reposition the tape to the BOT side of the last filemark.

       MTFSR  Forward space over mt_count records (tape blocks).

       MTFSS  Forward space over mt_count setmarks.

       MTLOAD Execute the SCSI load command.  A special case is available for some HP autoloaders.  If mt_count is the constant MT_ST_HPLOADER_OFFSET plus a number, the
              number is sent to the drive to control the autoloader.

       MTLOCK Lock the tape drive door.

       MTMKPART
              Format  the tape into one or two partitions.  If mt_count is positive, it gives the size of partition 1 and partition 0 contains the rest of the tape.  If
              mt_count is zero, the tape is formatted into one partition.  From kernel version 4.6, a negative mt_count specifies the size of partition 0 and  the  rest
              of the tape contains partition 1.  The physical ordering of partitions depends on the drive.  This command is not allowed for a drive unless the partition
              support is enabled for the drive (see MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS below).

       MTNOP  No op—flushes the driver's buffer as a side effect.  Should be used before reading status with MTIOCGET.

       MTOFFL Rewind and put the drive off line.

       MTRESET
              Reset drive.

       MTRETEN
              Re-tension tape.

       MTREW  Rewind.

       MTSEEK Seek to the tape block number specified in mt_count.  This operation requires either a SCSI-2 drive that supports the LOCATE command (device-specific  ad‐
              dress) or a Tandberg-compatible SCSI-1 drive (Tandberg, Archive Viper, Wangtek, ...).  The block number should be one that was previously returned by MTI‐
              OCPOS if device-specific addresses are used.

       MTSETBLK
              Set the drive's block length to the value specified in mt_count.  A block length of zero sets the drive to variable block size mode.

       MTSETDENSITY
              Set the tape density to the code in mt_count.  The density codes supported by a drive can be found from the drive documentation.

       MTSETPART
              The active partition is switched to mt_count.  The partitions are numbered from zero.  This command is not allowed for a drive unless the  partition  sup‐
              port is enabled for the drive (see MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS below).

       MTUNLOAD
              Execute the SCSI unload command (does not eject the tape).

       MTUNLOCK
              Unlock the tape drive door.

       MTWEOF Write mt_count filemarks.

       MTWSM  Write mt_count setmarks.

       Magnetic tape operations for setting of device options (by the superuser):

       MTSETDRVBUFFER
              Set various drive and driver options according to bits encoded in mt_count.  These consist of the drive's buffering mode, a set of Boolean driver options,
              the buffer write threshold, defaults for the block size and density, and timeouts (only in kernels 2.1 and later).  A single operation can affect only one
              item in the list below (the Booleans counted as one item.)

              A value having zeros in the high-order 4 bits will be used to set the drive's buffering mode.  The buffering modes are:

                   0   The drive will not report GOOD status on write commands until the data blocks are actually written to the medium.

                   1   The drive may report GOOD status on write commands as soon as all the data has been transferred to the drive's internal buffer.

                   2   The  drive  may report GOOD status on write commands as soon as (a) all the data has been transferred to the drive's internal buffer, and (b) all
                       buffered data from different initiators has been successfully written to the medium.

              To control the write threshold the value in mt_count must include the constant MT_ST_WRITE_THRESHOLD bitwise ORed with a block count in the low  28  bits.
              The  block  count refers to 1024-byte blocks, not the physical block size on the tape.  The threshold cannot exceed the driver's internal buffer size (see
              DESCRIPTION, above).

              To set and clear the Boolean options the value in mt_count must include one of the constants MT_ST_BOOLEANS,  MT_ST_SETBOOLEANS,  MT_ST_CLEARBOOLEANS,  or
              MT_ST_DEFBOOLEANS  bitwise  ORed with whatever combination of the following options is desired.  Using MT_ST_BOOLEANS the options can be set to the values
              defined in the corresponding bits.  With MT_ST_SETBOOLEANS the options can be selectively set and with MT_ST_DEFBOOLEANS selectively cleared.

              The default options for a tape device are set with MT_ST_DEFBOOLEANS.  A nonactive tape device (e.g., device with minor 32 or 160) is activated  when  the
              default options for it are defined the first time.  An activated device inherits from the device activated at start-up the options not set explicitly.

              The Boolean options are:

              MT_ST_BUFFER_WRITES (Default: true)
                     Buffer  all write operations in fixed-block mode.  If this option is false and the drive uses a fixed block size, then all write operations must be
                     for a multiple of the block size.  This option must be set false to write reliable multivolume archives.

              MT_ST_ASYNC_WRITES (Default: true)
                     When this option is true, write operations return immediately without waiting for the data to be transferred to the drive if the data fits into the
                     driver's buffer.  The write threshold determines how full the buffer must be before a new SCSI write command is issued.  Any errors reported by the
                     drive will be held until the next operation.  This option must be set false to write reliable multivolume archives.

              MT_ST_READ_AHEAD (Default: true)
                     This option causes the driver to provide read buffering and read-ahead in fixed-block mode.  If this option is false and the  drive  uses  a  fixed
                     block size, then all read operations must be for a multiple of the block size.

              MT_ST_TWO_FM (Default: false)
                     This  option  modifies  the  driver  behavior  when a file is closed.  The normal action is to write a single filemark.  If the option is true, the
                     driver will write two filemarks and backspace over the second one.

                     Note: This option should not be set true for QIC tape drives since they are unable to overwrite  a  filemark.   These  drives  detect  the  end  of
                     recorded  data by testing for blank tape rather than two consecutive filemarks.  Most other current drives also detect the end of recorded data and
                     using two filemarks is usually necessary only when interchanging tapes with some other systems.

              MT_ST_DEBUGGING (Default: false)
                     This option turns on various debugging messages from the driver (effective only if the driver was compiled with DEBUG defined nonzero).

              MT_ST_FAST_EOM (Default: false)
                     This option causes the MTEOM operation to be sent directly to the drive, potentially speeding up the operation but causing the driver to lose track
                     of  the  current file number normally returned by the MTIOCGET request.  If MT_ST_FAST_EOM is false, the driver will respond to an MTEOM request by
                     forward spacing over files.

              MT_ST_AUTO_LOCK (Default: false)
                     When this option is true, the drive door is locked when the device file is opened and unlocked when it is closed.

              MT_ST_DEF_WRITES (Default: false)
                     The tape options (block size, mode, compression, etc.) may change when changing from one device linked to a drive to another device linked  to  the
                     same  drive depending on how the devices are defined.  This option defines when the changes are enforced by the driver using SCSI-commands and when
                     the drives auto-detection capabilities are relied upon.  If this option is false, the driver sends the SCSI-commands immediately when the device is
                     changed.   If the option is true, the SCSI-commands are not sent until a write is requested.  In this case, the drive firmware is allowed to detect
                     the tape structure when reading and the SCSI-commands are used only to make sure that a tape is written according to the correct specification.

              MT_ST_CAN_BSR (Default: false)
                     When read-ahead is used, the tape must sometimes be spaced backward to the correct position when the device is closed and the SCSI command to space
                     backward  over records is used for this purpose.  Some older drives can't process this command reliably and this option can be used to instruct the
                     driver not to use the command.  The end result is that, with read-ahead and fixed-block mode, the tape may not be  correctly  positioned  within  a
                     file when the device is closed.  With 2.6 kernel, the default is true for drives supporting SCSI-3.

              MT_ST_NO_BLKLIMS (Default: false)
                     Some  drives  don't  accept  the  READ  BLOCK LIMITS SCSI command.  If this is used, the driver does not use the command.  The drawback is that the
                     driver can't check before sending commands if the selected block size is acceptable to the drive.

              MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS (Default: false)
                     This option enables support for several partitions within a tape.  The option applies to all devices linked to a drive.

              MT_ST_SCSI2LOGICAL (Default: false)
                     This option instructs the driver to use the logical block addresses defined in the SCSI-2 standard when performing the  seek  and  tell  operations
                     (both with MTSEEK and MTIOCPOS commands and when changing tape partition).  Otherwise, the device-specific addresses are used.  It is highly advis‐
                     able to set this option if the drive supports the logical addresses because they count also filemarks.  There are some drives that support only the
                     logical block addresses.

              MT_ST_SYSV (Default: false)
                     When  this  option  is enabled, the tape devices use the System V semantics.  Otherwise, the BSD semantics are used.  The most important difference
                     between the semantics is what happens when a device used for reading is closed: in System V semantics the tape is  spaced  forward  past  the  next
                     filemark if this has not happened while using the device.  In BSD semantics the tape position is not changed.

              MT_NO_WAIT (Default: false)
                     Enables immediate mode (i.e., don't wait for the command to finish) for some commands (e.g., rewind).

              An example:

                  struct mtop mt_cmd;
                  mt_cmd.mt_op = MTSETDRVBUFFER;
                  mt_cmd.mt_count = MT_ST_BOOLEANS |
                          MT_ST_BUFFER_WRITES | MT_ST_ASYNC_WRITES;
                  ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, mt_cmd);

              The  default  block size for a device can be set with MT_ST_DEF_BLKSIZE and the default density code can be set with MT_ST_DEFDENSITY.  The values for the
              parameters are or'ed with the operation code.

              With kernels 2.1.x and later, the timeout values can be set with the subcommand MT_ST_SET_TIMEOUT ORed with the timeout  in  seconds.   The  long  timeout
              (used  for  rewinds  and other commands that may take a long time) can be set with MT_ST_SET_LONG_TIMEOUT.  The kernel defaults are very long to make sure
              that a successful command is not timed out with any drive.  Because of this, the driver may seem stuck even if it is only waiting for the timeout.   These
              commands can be used to set more practical values for a specific drive.  The timeouts set for one device apply for all devices linked to the same drive.

              Starting  from  kernels  2.4.19  and 2.5.43, the driver supports a status bit which indicates whether the drive requests cleaning.  The method used by the
              drive to return cleaning information is set using the MT_ST_SEL_CLN subcommand.  If the value is zero, the cleaning bit is always zero.  If the  value  is
              one, the TapeAlert data defined in the SCSI-3 standard is used (not yet implemented).  Values 2–17 are reserved.  If the lowest eight bits are >= 18, bits
              from the extended sense data are used.  The bits 9–16 specify a mask to select the bits to look at and the bits 17–23 specify the bit pattern to look for.
              If  the  bit pattern is zero, one or more bits under the mask indicate the cleaning request.  If the pattern is nonzero, the pattern must match the masked
              sense data byte.

   MTIOCGET — get status
       This request takes an argument of type (struct mtget *).

           /* structure for MTIOCGET - mag tape get status command */
           struct mtget {
               long     mt_type;
               long     mt_resid;
               /* the following registers are device dependent */
               long     mt_dsreg;
               long     mt_gstat;
               long     mt_erreg;
               /* The next two fields are not always used */
               daddr_t  mt_fileno;
               daddr_t  mt_blkno;
           };

       mt_type
              The header file defines many values for mt_type, but the current driver reports only the generic types MT_ISSCSI1 (Generic  SCSI-1  tape)  and  MT_ISSCSI2
              (Generic SCSI-2 tape).

       mt_resid
              contains the current tape partition number.

       mt_dsreg
              reports  the  drive's  current  settings  for  block  size  (in the low 24 bits) and density (in the high 8 bits).  These fields are defined by MT_ST_BLK‐
              SIZE_SHIFT, MT_ST_BLKSIZE_MASK, MT_ST_DENSITY_SHIFT, and MT_ST_DENSITY_MASK.

       mt_gstat
              reports generic (device independent) status information.  The header file defines macros for testing these status bits:

              GMT_EOF(x): The tape is positioned just after a filemark (always false after an MTSEEK operation).

              GMT_BOT(x): The tape is positioned at the beginning of the first file (always false after an MTSEEK operation).

              GMT_EOT(x): A tape operation has reached the physical End Of Tape.

              GMT_SM(x): The tape is currently positioned at a setmark (always false after an MTSEEK operation).

              GMT_EOD(x): The tape is positioned at the end of recorded data.

              GMT_WR_PROT(x): The drive is write-protected.  For some drives this can also mean that the drive does not support writing on the current medium type.

              GMT_ONLINE(x): The last open(2) found the drive with a tape in place and ready for operation.

              GMT_D_6250(x), GMT_D_1600(x), GMT_D_800(x): This “generic” status information reports the current density setting for 9-track Âœ" tape drives only.

              GMT_DR_OPEN(x): The drive does not have a tape in place.

              GMT_IM_REP_EN(x): Immediate report mode.  This bit is set if there are no guarantees that the data has been physically written to the tape when the  write
                  call returns.  It is set zero only when the driver does not buffer data and the drive is set not to buffer data.

              GMT_CLN(x): The drive has requested cleaning.  Implemented in kernels since 2.4.19 and 2.5.43.

       mt_erreg
              The only field defined in mt_erreg is the recovered error count in the low 16 bits (as defined by MT_ST_SOFTERR_SHIFT and MT_ST_SOFTERR_MASK).  Due to in‐
              consistencies in the way drives report recovered errors, this count is often not maintained (most drives do not by default report soft errors but this can
              be changed with a SCSI MODE SELECT command).

       mt_fileno
              reports the current file number (zero-based).  This value is set to -1 when the file number is unknown (e.g., after MTBSS or MTSEEK).

       mt_blkno
              reports the block number (zero-based) within the current file.  This value is set to -1 when the block number is unknown (e.g., after MTBSF, MTBSS, or MT‐
              SEEK).

   MTIOCPOS — get tape position
       This request takes an argument of type (struct mtpos *) and reports the drive's notion of the current tape block number, which is not the same  as  mt_blkno  re‐
       turned  by  MTIOCGET.   This drive must be a SCSI-2 drive that supports the READ POSITION command (device-specific address) or a Tandberg-compatible SCSI-1 drive
       (Tandberg, Archive Viper, Wangtek, ... ).

           /* structure for MTIOCPOS - mag tape get position command */
           struct mtpos {
               long mt_blkno;    /* current block number */
           };

RETURN VALUE
       EACCES An attempt was made to write or erase a write-protected tape.  (This error is not detected during open(2).)

       EBUSY  The device is already in use or the driver was unable to allocate a buffer.

       EFAULT The command parameters point to memory not belonging to the calling process.

       EINVAL An ioctl(2) had an invalid argument, or a requested block size was invalid.

       EIO    The requested operation could not be completed.

       ENOMEM The byte count in read(2) is smaller than the next physical block on the tape.  (Before 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 the extra bytes have been silently ignored.)

       ENOSPC A write operation could not be completed because the tape reached end-of-medium.

       ENOSYS Unknown ioctl(2).

       ENXIO  During opening, the tape device does not exist.

       EOVERFLOW
              An attempt was made to read or write a variable-length block that is larger than the driver's internal buffer.

       EROFS  Open is attempted with O_WRONLY or O_RDWR when the tape in the drive is write-protected.

NOTES
       1.  When exchanging data between systems, both systems have to agree on the physical tape block size.  The parameters of a drive after startup are often not  the
           ones  most  operating  systems use with these devices.  Most systems use drives in variable-block mode if the drive supports that mode.  This applies to most
           modern drives, including DATs, 8mm helical scan drives, DLTs, etc.  It may be advisable to use these drives in variable-block mode also in Linux  (i.e.,  use
           MTSETBLK or MTSETDEFBLK at system startup to set the mode), at least when exchanging data with a foreign system.  The drawback of this is that a fairly large
           tape block size has to be used to get acceptable data transfer rates on the SCSI bus.

       2.  Many programs (e.g., tar(1)) allow the user to specify the blocking factor on the command line.  Note that this determines the physical block  size  on  tape
           only in variable-block mode.

       3.  In  order  to use SCSI tape drives, the basic SCSI driver, a SCSI-adapter driver and the SCSI tape driver must be either configured into the kernel or loaded
           as modules.  If the SCSI-tape driver is not present, the drive is recognized but the tape support described in this page is not available.

       4.  The driver writes error messages to the console/log.  The SENSE codes written into some messages are automatically translated to text if  verbose  SCSI  mes‐
           sages are enabled in kernel configuration.

       5.  The  driver's  internal buffering allows good throughput in fixed-block mode also with small read(2) and write(2) byte counts.  With direct transfers this is
           not possible and may cause a surprise when moving to the 2.6 kernel.  The solution is to tell the software to use larger transfers (often telling it  to  use
           larger blocks).  If this is not possible, direct transfers can be disabled.
