[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

dpgilbert just announced version 1.27 of sg3_utils on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release tracks many changes in the SCSI drafts from www.t10.org since June
2008. It adds an sg_write_same utility that includes support for thin
provisioning. Thin provisioning and larger sector size (than 512 bytes)
capability has been added to several utilities. The Linux port now supports bsg
devices. Several bugfixes and minor interface and library enhancements.

Project description:

sg3_utils is a package of utilities for accessing devices that use SCSI command
sets. Most utilities issue a single command and display the response, while some
work at a slightly higher level. There are utilities for fetching INQUIRY data
and VPD, mode, and log pages. There is support for modern SCSI transports such
as SAS and FCP. The package is written for Linux and has been ported to FreeBSD,
Solaris, Tru64, and Windows. There is an earlier version of this package for
Linux 2.2 series kernels called sg_utils.
