Further to this thread, I have added a utility called sg_persist to sg3_utils package (version 1.07 beta) that permits low level access to the SCSI Persistent Reservation In and Out commands. I can do a limited amount of testing with my equipment so I would be keen for others to test the utility. See the news section at the top of http://www.torque.net/sg Doug Gilbert
