Contains device control block information for physical devices.

DCB_bus_type

Bus type. Can be one of these values:

DCB_BUS_ESDI	ESDI BUS
DCB_BUS_SCSI	SCSI BUS
DCB_BUS_NEC	NEC BUS
DCB_BUS_SMART	SMART BUS
DCB_BUS_ABIOS	ABIOS BUS

DCB_max_sg_elements

Maximum number of scatter/gather elements. This value is set initially by the port driver, but may be more restrictively updated by other layer drivers.

DCB_current_unit

Used to emulate multiple logical devices with a single physical device.

DCB_vol_flags

Volume tracking flags. Can be one of these values:

DCB_VF_INHIBIT_LOCKING	Indicates locking is temporarily inhibited
DCB_VF_INHIBIT_IO	Indicates I/O is temporarily inhibited (event scheduled in volume tracker).
DCB_VF_INHIBIT_GEOM_RECOMPUTE	Indicates geometry recompute is temporarily inhibited.
DCB_VF_UNLOCK_SCHED	Indicates unlock event is scheduled.
DCB_VF_NEED_PHYS_RECOMP	Indicates that a mapper drive needs a compute geometry request sent to the physical drive with same number as the given logical drive.
DCB_VF_PROT_NEC_DRIVE	Indicates that this DCB has a corresponding protected mode physical NEC driver.

DCB_q_algo

Queuing algorithm index. Can be one of these values:

DCB_q_fi_fo	First in, first out.
DCB_q_sort	Special algorithm for disk.
