| - add "-d" switch to isosize and cope with > 2 GB (and man page) |
| |
| Changelog for sg3_utils-0.90 |
| ---------------------------- |
| - switch from dated versioning. Previous version was sg3_utils001012. |
| Arbitrarily start at package version 0.90 . Start Changelog. |
| - incorporate Kurt Garloff's patches from Suse scsi.spm source rpm |
| compilation: |
| - add Kurt Garloff's sg_test_rwbuf utility to read and write to disk |
| buffer |
| - clean up Makefile to include a "make install" (and also add a |
| "make uninstall"). |
| - add "-uno" switch to sginfo |
| - make raw and sg devices equally acceptable to sg_dd and sgp_dd. |
| [Raw devices still not as fast as sg devices doing disk to disk |
| copies in sgp_dd but this may be improved soon. Still faster than |
| using dd!] |
| - change lseek() in sg_dd and sgp_dd to _llseek() [using code borrowed |
| from fdisk] so big disks can be properly offset with 'skip' and |
| 'seek' arguments. [This change is significant for raw devices and |
| normal files since sg devices already use 31 bit block addressing.] |
| - rename sg_s3_inq to sg_inq. This utility allows the INQUIRY response |
| to be decoded as per SCSI 3 and 4. Also can probe EVPD and CmdDt pages. |
| - change multiplier suffixes on sg_dd, sgp_dd and sg_turs so lower case |
| "k, m, g" are powers of 2 while "K, M, G" are powers of 10. This idea |
| borrowed from lmdd (lmbench suite) |
| - retire a few more less used utilities into the archive directory. |
| - add man pages for sg_dd, sgp_dd and sg_map |
