DESCRIPTION
A dpf disk subsystem consists of a disk controller with up to 4
physical units on that controller. The units supported are as
follows:
Model # Size
6060 96 Mbyte removable disk
6061 190 Mbyte removable disk
6067 50 Mbyte removable disk
6122 277 Mbyte removable disk
6160 73 Mbyte non-removable disk
6161 147 Mbyte non-removable disk
6214 602 Mbyte non-removable disk
A physical disk unit may be accessed directly via the special
file nodes in /dev/pdsk and /dev/rpdsk. These nodes are named in
the form:
/dev/[r]pdsk/c<n>d<m>
where <n> is the octal hardware device code of the controller and
<m> is the unit on the controller. The nodes in /dev/pdsk
provide access as a block special device as described in dsk(7).
The nodes in /dev/rpdsk provide access as a character special
device as described in rdsk(7). When accessing a disk through a
/dev/pdsk or /dev/rpdsk node, the operating system performs no
bad block remapping.
