A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (actually, it was on 30-Jun-99), the great prophet Ray Johnston once wrote: > I have read in the FAQ's and "The Complete FreeBSD" book about using > a "scsi" command to check to see if automatic relocation is enabled. > None of us can find a scsi command or the sources to build it on > FreeBSD 3.1 or 3.2. Can you tell us where to find this? In 3.x, the old SCSI system was replaced by the new "CAM" SCSI system. The edition of Complete FreeBSD you have is probably written with the old SCSI system in mind. The scsi(8) command mentioned in Complete FreeBSD is not available in FreeBSD 3.x's CAM system, it has been replaced by the camcontrol(8) program, which does everything that the old scsi(8) command does and much more. However, the command line flags (and the way the program works in general) is differnet. It is suggested that you read the manual page for camcontrol(8). It is really well written and you should be able to find the proper command to do what you want with it. --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com>-Member The FreeBSD Project| PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
