sdparm is a command line utility for getting and setting SCSI parameters. These parameters are mainly held in SCSI mode pages. Read only information is maintained in device Vital Product Data (VPD) pages and these can also be accessed with sdparm. There are also some simple commands supported. sdparm is described here: http://www.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html and the sdparm-0.97.tgz beta can be fetched from the Downloads section. This utility was originally released in April 2005 for the linux operating system. Inspired by the SCSI pass through mechanism of smartmontools which has been ported to 7 OSes, sdparm has been reworked to push the linux specific SCSI pass through code into one file: sg_pt_linux.c There is a corresponding file for FreeBSD: sg_pt_freebsd.c Feedback welcome, especially in the area of packaging for multiple OSes and CAM. This beta has only been tested on FreeBSD version 5.3 with a SCSI disk, a tape drive and an ATAPI CD drive (with atapicam configured in the kernel). I'm am also working on porting (the non linux specific) utilities in the sg3_utils package to FreeBSD. Doug Gilbert
