Nice! Just got it and tried on an external usb disk.
One feature I could use, probably others as well:
Could you add the ability to spin down/up a scsi disk?
I'd really like this for exteral (usb) disks.
Mogens,
With sg_start (in the sg3_utils package) I have tried
to spin up and down an ATA disk inside a USB enclosure
without success. The same command on a USB connected
CD/DVD combo drive did work.
Could you try sg_start on your USB external enclosure
which I assume contains an ATA disk rather than a
SCSI (SPI) disk and report if it works?
Sure. Got it, compiled, but got the error:
.../usr/include/scsi/sg.h /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h
/usr/include/stdint.h sg_lib.h sg_cmds.h llseek.h
gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make: *** [sgp_dd.o] Error 1
I could only find -o and -c in the makefiles around line 95.
Slack 9.1 / 2.6.10 from sources.
It's 4am, I'm off to bed, sorry :p
