Hello, I want to write a tape utility using the SG_IO interface (because I don't have the expensive IBM one ;) ) but I have got a problem with the SCSI interface. My program looks as follows: ioctl(g_fd,SG_IO,&io_hdr); memset(&io_hdr, 0, sizeof(struct sg_io_hdr)); struct read_attr_cmd cmd; cmd.opcode = 0x8C; cmd.s_action = 0; cmd.pad1 = cmd.pad2 = cmd.pad3 = cmd.pad4 = 0; cmd.volid = cmd.partition = 0; cmd.attrib_id = htons(attribs[idx].id); cmd.size = htonl(buffer_size); cmd.control = 0; assert(sizeof(struct read_attr_cmd) == 16); io_hdr.interface_id='S'; io_hdr.cmd_len = 16;//sizeof cmd; io_hdr.mx_sb_len= sizeof(sense_b); io_hdr.dxfer_direction = SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV; io_hdr.dxferp = buffer; io_hdr.dxfer_len = buffer_size; io_hdr.cmdp = (unsigned char *) &cmd; io_hdr.sbp = sense_b; io_hdr.timeout = 10000; if(ioctl(g_fd,SG_IO,&io_hdr) == -1) The IOCTL succeeds, but io_hdr.host_status contains SG_ERR_DID_ABORT. All other fields are not touched. I am using an Adaptec 29160N(AIC7892) with the adaptec aix7xxx driver on Linux 2.6.31 (ubuntu). As far as I know this driver supports 16 Byte commands.
