%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ sg3_utils The sg3_utils package contains low level utilities for devices that use a SCSI command set. Apart from SCSI parallel interface (SPI) devices, the SCSI command set is used by ATAPI devices (CD/DVDs and tapes), USB mass storage devices, Fibre Channel disks, IEEE 1394 storage devices (that use the "SBP" protocol), SAS, iSCSI and FCoE devices (amongst others). &lfs101_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &sg3_utils-md5sum; Download size: &sg3_utils-size; Estimated disk space required: &sg3_utils-buildsize; Estimated build time: &sg3_utils-time; User Notes: Install sg3_utils by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make This package does not come with a test suite.
