virtio_scsi — VirtIO SCSI driver
Contents
Debugging
To enable debugging prints from the virtio_scsi driver, set the
hw.vtscsi.X.debug_level
variable, where X is the adapter number, either in loader.conf(5) or via sysctl(8). The following bits
have the described effects:
0x01 Enable informational prints.
0x02 Enable prints for driver errors.
0x04 Enable tracing prints.
Description
The virtio_scsi device driver provides support for VirtIO SCSI devices.
History
The virtio_scsi driver was written by Bryan Venteicher <bryanv@FreeBSD.org>. It first appeared in
FreeBSD 10.0.
Debian June 24, 2012 VIRTIO_SCSI(4)
Loader Tunables
Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).
hw.vtscsi.bus_reset_disable
In the initial QEMU release with VirtIO SCSI support, in-flight operations were not aborted when
stopping the device, rendering bus reset ineffective. This tunable disables attempts to issue
reset bus commands. The default value is 1.
