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 description: <none> author: <none> license: "GPL" 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...
