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 sg_rmsn to read media serial number(s). The tarball contains a spec file for building rpms. That spec file builds two binary rpms: sg3_utils and libsgutils. In the future my plan is to make other utilities such as sdparm depend on libsgutils. See CHANGELOG for other changes. 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 .
