sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities, most of which are closely associated with a SCSI command. For example, sg_persist issues PERSISTENT RESERVE IN and OUT SCSI commands. Some utilities are just slightly higher level: sg_ses fetches status pages and can send control pages to a SES device. camcontrol can issue SCSI commands in FreeBSD, but that can become a chore when there is a lot of data to set up or decode. Some sg3_utils utilities do a lot of work decoding the response to SCSI commands (e.g. "sg_get_config /dev/cd0" will decode MMC features and profiles of the drive and media). The sg3_utils port to FreeBSD contains 20 utilities, each with a man page. Linux specific and some other utilities that require more work have been dropped from this initial FreeBSD port. A tarball of sg3_utils 1.19 beta can be found at: http://www.torque.net/sg [in the news section] Here is a web page with an overview of sg3_utils: http://www.torque.net/sg/u_index.html See the README.freebsd and INSTALL files in the tarball for more information. The sg3_utils FreeBSD port uses the same pass through mechanism as sdparm which I released earlier this week to this list. The only response to date has been the automatically generated "out of office" variety :-) Doug Gilbert
