Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have found some code :

LEN = 480
cdb[1] = (((dev_id & 0xF00) >> 8) << 5)
cdb[7] = ((480 >> 8) & 0xff)
cdb[8] = (480 & 0xff)

Any idea why it is 'anded' with 255. Can't seem to understand how the lun value is calculated.

Any idea ??

Thanks and Regards,
Mala

Mala,

The LUN should be passed in as part of the host:chan:targ:lun addressing. Use SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN to return it.

If you are building a utility, I have some code that shows this and the length stuff for mode sense, see http://scsirastools.sourceforge.net
(sgmode.c & sgsub.c).

scsiinfo is another open-source tool that shows mode sense usage.

Hi,

While using the MODE SENSE command how does one calculate the "Allocation Length" MSB, LSB, the LUN no. and the length of the data returned by the command.

Kindly let me know.

Thanks and Regards,
Mala
