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 adds the sg_map26 utility which maps between a primary scsi device node (e.g. /dev/hdc) and the corresponding scsi generic node (e.g. /dev/sg5) or vice versa. Uses major/minor numbers and sysfs (thus only works for the lk 2.6 series). sg_dd now takes iflag and oflag options similar to those found in recent GNU dd versions. "sg_inq -rr" outputs an ATA IDENTIFY response in a form suitable to be piped to "hdparm --Istdin" for decoding. See CHANGELOG for more information. A tarball, rpm and deb can be found at (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 The SG_IO ioctl is discussed at: http://www.torque.net/sg/sg_io.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 .
