I "inherited" a MO jukebox. I need to write a driver to make the jukebox's
robot insert and remove disks. I was wondering if anyone has written a
driver for a jukebox robot.
My ideal solution would be a series of devices called /dev/mo/xxy, where xx
is the disk number and y is the side (a or b). Accessing the mo device
would then cause the jukebox robot to insert the disk in the drive; then the
device would act just like /dev/sdc (hopefully including partition tables).
What I'm not sure of is:
-- How to make /dev/mo/xxy act in the place of /dev/sdc
-- How to make sure that the disk isn't removed until it is not in use
I am hoping someone has written a driver that I can use as a starting point
to hopefully reduce the number of iterations of banging my head on something
because the driver doesn't work.
