The author's various SCSI related packages are now mirrored ongithub.com . The primaryrepositories remain in subversion on the author's equipment. Thesg3_utils and lsscsipackages are mirrored on Hannes Reinecke's site at github :https://github.com/hreinecke/sg3_utilsin the master (default) branch. The author continues to trackprogress with a subversion revision number which is a sequentialnumber currently at 841 for sg3_utils. The github sg3_utils package'sChangeLogfile shows where the mirror is 'at' and currently that isrevision 841 dated 20200210, several commits behind the author'srepository. The other sg3_utils git branches may be of interest tousers and relate to Hannes' work at SUSE Labs. Most work in thoseother branches will be merged into the master branch in time. Alsofound at that location is the lsscsimirror. Both packages may have later versions on this site (astarballs in the Downloads section of the links given above). So itmight be worthwhile to check both locations.
The authoralso has a github account at https://github.com/doug-gilbertwhich has mirrors for the sdparm, ddptand smp_utils packages and alternativemirrors for sg3_utils and lsscsi. Since sdparm and ddpt depend on alibrary from sg3_utils, a partial package called sg3_utils_lib isalso there. sg3_utils_lib only contains the lib/and include/ sub-directories from thesg3_utils package. Currently sg3_utils_lib corresponds to version 844of the author's sg3_utils subversion repository and the sdparm andddpt packages assume that revision. So it is better to build sdparmand ddpt with sg3_utils_lib than with Hannes' sg3_utilsrepository.
So, for example to build sdparm, clone thegithub sdparm and sg3_utils_lib repositories to the build machine;then from sg3_utils_lib clone, copy the include/and lib/ directories with those names andcontents over to the sdparm clone, under the main directory. So thatmain directory should end up at least containing thesesub-directories: src/, doc/,lib/ and include/.The sdparm package should be then ready to build. IMO, contrary tomuch online propaganda, git is not better in all respects thansubversion, especially for non-distributed development. In this casethe author uses subversion's 'externals' feature to includethe library sub-tree of sg3_utils in the source trees of sdparm andddpt. There is no exact parallel to this feature in git.
Packageswill still have major releases done through this site. For example,that will be release 1.46 for sg3_utils . The release will havesource tarballs and Debian and Redhat packages for Linux. There willalso be a tarball of Windows executable(s) typically built withMinGW. Also there is an attempt to publicise the releases on relatednewsgroups (e.g. Note that the subversion revision number stopsincreasing in the ChangeLog once a release has been made, and a newparagraph will appear at the top of the ChangeLog when revisions arecommitted for the next release.

Introduction

The Linux sg driver is a upper level SCSI subsystem device driverthat is used primarily to handle devices _not_ covered by the otherupper level drivers: sd (disks), st (tapes) and sr (CDROMs and DVDs).The sg driver is used for enclosure management, cd writers,applications that read cd audio digitally and scanners. Sg can alsobe used for less usual tasks performed on disks, tapes and cdroms. Sgis a character device driver which, in some contexts, gives itadvantages over block device drivers such as sd and sr. The interfaceof sg is at the level of SCSI command requests and their associatedresponses.
The term SCSI has several meaning depending onthe context. This leads to confusion. One practical way of definingit today is everything that the T10 INCITS committee controls, seewww.t10.org . Probably the mostsuccinct overview is this standards architecture page. For practical purposes a 'SCSI device' in Linux is anydevice that uses the Linux SCSI subsystem and this often includesSATA disks.
From about Linux kernel 2.6.24, there is analternate SCSI pass-through driver called 'bsg' (block SCSIgeneric driver). The bsg driver has device names of the form/dev/bsg/0:1:2:3 and supports the SG_IO ioctl with the sg version 3interface. The bsg driver also supports the sg version 4 interfacewhich at this time the sg driver does not. Amongst other improvementsthe sg version 4 interface supports SCSI bidirectional commands. Allrecent 'sg' user space packages (i.e. sg3_utils, sdparm,ddpt and smp_utils) work equally well on both sg and bsg devicenames.

Background

The original driver was written by Lawrence Foard in 1992 andremained unchanged for several years. In August 1998 Heiko Eissfeldtand Joerg Schilling started working on enhancements to this driver.Soon after, the author became involved and these efforts culminatedin a new sg driver being placed in Linux kernel 2.2.6 which wasreleased on 16th April 1999. It contains the first major upgrade tothe SCSI generic packet device driver ('sg') since 1992.This new driver has a super-set of the original interface and thesemantics of the implementation are very similar. Hence it offers ahigh degree of backward compatibility with the original driver.

The major reason for introducing a new sg driver into the 2.2series of kernels was the problem that the original device driver washaving finding memory. This driver improves the situation by usingscatter gather, memory above the 16 MBytes level and memory from thescsi dma pool as appropriate. Other drivers were affected by thesememory problems (especially those associated with ISA hardware). Inkernel 2.2.10 H.J. Lu introduced a new kernel memory allocator thatalleviated many of these memory problems.

On 4th January 2001 the Linux 2.4.0 kernel was introduced and itcontained the 'version 3' sg driver that is describedbelow.

Scsi Scanner Device

On 17th December 2003 the Linux 2.6.0 kernel was introduced and italso contained the 'version 3' sg driver that is describedbelow. The SG_IO ioctl was implemented in the block layer and inseveral other 'char' SCSI drivers (e.g. the st driver fortapes). Hence many programs can use primary device nodes (e.g./dev/hdd for an ATAPI cd/dvd writer) to send SCSI command via theSG_IO ioctl. The sg driver still permits a clean pass throughinterface to all devices that use the Linux SCSI subsystem.

Features

The following enhancements have been added (in lk 2.2.6): scattergather, command queueing, per file descriptor sequencing (was perdevice) and asynchronous notification. Scatter gather allows largebuffers (previously limited to 128 KB on i386) to be used. Scattergather is also a lot more 'kernel friendly'. The originaldriver used a single large buffer which made it impossible to run 2or more sg-based applications at the same time. With the new driver abuffer is reserved for each file descriptor guaranteeing that atleast that buffer size will be available for each request on the filedescriptor. A user may request a larger buffer size on any particularrequest but runs the (usually remote) risk of an out of memory(ENOMEM) error.

A 'version 3' sg driver was introduced in Linux kernel2.4.0 . It adds a new interface that allows more control over SCSIcommands and returns more information about their performance. Thisdriver is present in Linux kernel 2.4.0 . A separate version withreduced capabilities is available for the 2.2 series kernels.Features include: a simplified SG_IO ioctl, larger sense buffer,residual DMA count, 16 byte (or longer) commands, direct IO support,command duration timing and a 'proc_fs' interface.Naturally it is backward compatible with applications based on the sginterface in the lk 2.2 series and earlier.
In the lk 2.6series the SG_IO ioctl has been replicated (with a slightly reducedfeature set) in the block subsystem. This allows the SG_IO ioctl tobe used on block devices such as /dev/sda and /dev/scd0. In lk 2.6.6the SG_IO ioctl became available in the st upper level SCSI subsystemdriver (for tapes). See the sg_io page.

The following table summarizes the different versions of the sgdevice driver that are available. If you wish to use one of thesetarballs then untar it in /usr/src/linux (or wherever the top of yourkernel tree is). As a precaution you may wish to copy the filesinclude/scsi/sg.h and drivers/scsi/sg.c to other names. This willfacilitate reversing the patch if required. For information about thedifferences between versions see the history section at the top ofthe include/scsi/sg.h file.

For the Linux kernel 2.2 series, the current production version of the sg driver is 2.1.39 . All sg drivers forthe 2.2 series of kernels (including the original) areinterchangeable (but see final section on this page about Red Hat 6.2and Mandrake 7.1). So, for example, sg22orig.tgz can be put in lk2.2.17 while, on the other hand, sg2140.tgz can be put in lk 2.2.0 .

For the Linux kernel 2.4 series, the current production version ofsg is 3.1.25 (in lk 2.4.23->32).

For the Linux kernel 2.6 series, the current production version ofsg is 3.5.34 .

Older versions can be obtained from thisdirectory. A sub directory called 'original' contains theoriginal driver (i.e. prior to linux kernel 2.2.6) and its HOWTOdocument.

Utilities: sg3_utilsand sg_utils

These packages contain multiple utilities, all with command lineinterfaces. They send one one more SCSI commands to the nominateddevice and output the response including error reports if the commandfailed. The name of the SCSI command executed is typically reflectedin the name of the utility; for example: 'sg_inq' sends aSCSI INQUIRY command and decodes its response. These utilities wereoriginally written for the Linux operating system. In sg3_utilsversion 1.19 a subset of the utilities were ported to FreeBSD andTru64; in version 1.22 a similar subset of the utilities were portedto Windows; and in version 1.24 a Solaris port was added.
Themost recent package is called sg3_utils and it uses the sg'version 3' interface (sometimes known as the SG_IOinterface) in linux. This interface is in lk 2.4.0 and laterkernels, including the lk 2.6, 3 and 4 series. All new features arebeing added into sg3_utils(i.e. it is still being actively developed). Many of the utilities in sg3_utils(versions >= 1.02) can be used directly on block devices (e.g.sg_inq /dev/sda) in the lk 2.6 series. The sg_dd utility is at a slightly higherlevel issuing SCSI READ and WRITE commands to copy data, mimickingthe Unix dd command. See the sg3_utilspackage page for more details.

The older (and original) package is called sg_utils and ituses the sg version 2 interface found linux kernel version 2.2.6 andonward. Over half of those utilities will also work on the originalsg device driver (at least back to the lk 2.0 series). If required,'make common' will produce the subset that will work on thewhole lk 2.x series. Since the sg 'version 3' device driverstill maintains the original interface, the sg_utils package willcontinue to work in the lk 2.4 and lk 2.6 series . This package isnow in maintenance mode, only bugs will be fixed. See this pagefor more details.

The latest versions, packaged intarballs, source, binary rpms and debian packages are given in thefollowing table. They contain README and CHANGELOG files and manpages.
