SBP(4)		       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual			SBP(4)

NAME
     sbp -- Serial Bus Protocol	2 (SBP-2) Mass Storage Devices driver

SYNOPSIS
     kldload firewire
     kldload cam
     kldload sbp

     or

     device sbp
     device firewire
     device scbus
     device da
     device cd
     device pass

DESCRIPTION
     The sbp driver provides support for SBP-2 devices that attach to the
     FireWire (IEEE 1394) port.	 It should work	with SBP-2 devices which the
     CAM layer supports, for example, HDDs, CDROM drives and DVD drives.

     Some users	familiar with umass(4) might wonder why	the device is not de-
     tached at the CAM layer when the device is	unplugged.  It is detached
     only if the device	has not	been plugged again during several bus resets.
     This is for preventing to detach an active	file system even when the de-
     vice cannot be probed correctly for some reason after a bus reset or when
     the device	is temporary disconnected because the user changes the bus
     topology.	If you want to force to	detach the device, run "fwcontrol -r"
     several times or set hw.firewire.hold_count=0 by sysctl(8).

     Some (broken) HDDs	do not work well with tagged queuing.  If you have
     problems with such	drives,	try "camcontrol	[device	id] tags -N 1" to dis-
     able tagged queuing.
