UP(4) | Kernel Interfaces Manual (VAX) | UP(4) |
This is a generic UNIBUS storage module disk driver. It is specifically designed to work with the Emulex SC-21 and SC-31 controllers. It can be easily adapted to other controllers (although bootstrapping will not necessarily be directly possible.)
The script MAKEDEV(8) should be used to create the up special files; consult mknod(8) if a special file needs to be made manually. It is recommended as a security precaution to not create special files for devices which may never be installed.
Special file names begin with ‘up
' and ‘rup
' for the block and character files respectively. The second component of the name, a drive unit number in the range of zero to seven, is represented by a ‘?
' in the disk layouts below. The last component of the name, the file system partition, is designated by a letter from ‘a
' to ‘h
' which also corresponds to a minor device number set: zero to seven, eight to 15, 16 to 23 and so forth for drive zero, drive two and drive three respectively (see physio(4)). The location and size (in 512 byte sectors) of the partitions for the above drives:

The up?a partition is normally used for the root file system, the up?b partition as a paging area, and the up?c partition for pack-pack copying (it maps the entire disk). On 160M drives the up?g partition maps the rest of the pack. On other drives both up?g and up?h are used to map the remaining cylinders.
The partition tables for the file systems should be read off of each pack, as they are never quite what any single installation would prefer, and this would make packs more portable.
