sdparm is a command line utility designed to get and set SCSI disk parameters (cf hdparm for ATA disks). More generally it gets and sets mode page information on SCSI devices or devices that use a SCSI command set (e.g. CD/DVD drives (any transport) and SCSI tape drives). It also can list VPD pages including the device identification page.
For more information and downloads (tarball, rpm and deb packages) see: http://www.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html
There are now more than 150 parameters accessed by sdparm.
This has gone beyond "creeping featurism" to cavorting and gamboling featurism! ;-)
I pulled a copy to try over the long weekend if not before, this looks as if it will be a valuable documentation tool, which is useful to CYA even if never used otherwise.
