lsscsi-0-13 released

lsscsi is a utility that uses sysfs in linux 2.6 series kernels to list information about all SCSI devices (including devices that use the SCSI stack such as USB mass storage devices) and SCSI hosts. Both a compact format (default) which is one line per device and a "classic" format (like the output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi') are supported. Some examples:

$ lsscsi
[0:0:0:0]    disk    Linux    scsi_debug       0004  /dev/sda
[1:0:6:0]    tape    SONY     SDT-7000         0192  /dev/st0

$ lsscsi --classic
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: Linux    Model: scsi_debug       Rev: 0004
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SONY     Model: SDT-7000         Rev: 0192
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Version 0.13 is available at
http://www.torque.net/scsi/lsscsi.html

This version has been tested with lk 2.6.8.1 .

Changelog: Version 0.13 2004/8/12
- add 'timeout' to long device option output
- quiet (unless verbose) if no mid level (hence
no SCSI devices or hosts)

There is also a pre-release version of lsscsi-0.14 which is a port to use the libsysfs library. It awaits a new dlist function called dlist_sort_custom() being added to libsysfs. This function allows an application (such as lsscsi) to sort sysfs directories. lsscsi uses this facility to numerically sort <h,c,t,l> tuples.
