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 improves support for ATA(PI) devices in the sg_inq utility. For example, assuming /dev/hdc is an ATAPI DVD drive, "sg_inq /dev/hdc" shows the response to a SCSI INQUIRY command, while "sg_inq -A /dev/hdc" shows the response to an ATA IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE command. See CHANGELOG for more information. 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 .
