sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending SCSI (and some ATA) commands to devices. This package targets the lk 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. In the lk 2.6 series these utilities (except sgp_dd) can be used with any devices that support the SG_IO ioctl. This version improves support for ATA(PI) devices in the sg_inq utility. For example, assuming /dev/hdc is an ATAPI DVD drive, "sg_inq /dev/hdc" shows the response to a SCSI INQUIRY command, while "sg_inq -A /dev/hdc" shows the response to an ATA IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE command. See CHANGELOG for more information. A tarball, rpm and deb can be found on (see table 2): http://www.torque.net/sg For an overview of sg3_utils see this page: http://www.torque.net/sg/u_index.html The sg_dd utility has its own page at: http://www.torque.net/sg/sg_dd.html A changelog can be found at: http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg3_utils.CHANGELOG A release announcement has been sent to freshmeat.net .
