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. This version mainly updates various utilities to the latest t10.org drafts and corrects some errors. The interface to the linux SCSI pass through interface has been made more generic. This has permitted ports of most of the utilities to FreeBSD and Tru64. See the 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 .
