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. A subset of the utilities in this package will build on FreeBSD and Tru64. This version adds the sg_vpd and sg_rdac utilities. There are examples of using the SAT ATA pass through SCSI command. Exit status values have been expanded and made more consistent. 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/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 changelog can be found at: http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg3_utils.CHANGELOG A release announcement has been sent to freshmeat.net .
