sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending SCSI and some ATA commands to devices. This package targets the linux kernel (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. Ported to FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and mingw). This version adds one new utility: sg_sat_phy_event. Various changes made by www.t10.org in the last 8 months are reflected in this version. There has been more work on moving large tables of data out into separate files. Copy of ChangeLog below. For an overview of sg3_utils and downloads see this page: http://www.torque.net/sg/sg3_utils.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 full changelog can be found at: http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg3_utils.CHANGELOG A release announcement has been sent to freshmeat.net .
