Hello there..
I'm having trouble trying to set parameters to modules when loading, let me
first quote a info site; http://gear.torque.net/parport/paride.html:
"The pt driver for parallel port ATAPI tape drives is a minimal driver. It
does not yet support many of the standard tape ioctl operations. For best
performance, a block size of 32KB should be used. You will probably want to
set the parallel port delay to 0, if you can."
So, I really want this to happen, both the port delay and block size! But I
can't find out how to do it, it seems like none of the involved modules take
block size as a parameter, at least not when I checked according to this:
berit:~ # modinfo paride
filename:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/kernel/drivers/block/paride/paride.o
description: <none>
author: <none>
license: "GPL"
berit:~ # modinfo epat
filename:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/kernel/drivers/block/paride/epat.o
description: <none>
author: <none>
license: "GPL"
berit:~ # modinfo pt
filename: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o

parm: verbose int
parm: major int
parm: name string
parm: drive0 int array (min = 1, max = 6)
parm: drive1 int array (min = 1, max = 6)
parm: drive2 int array (min = 1, max = 6)
parm: drive3 int array (min = 1, max = 6)
The array for the pt module is this (according to pt.c);
portadr,protocol#,chaining,mode,mstr/slave,delay
I can't fins anything about how and where I can set the block size...
