lsscsi-0.03

lsscsi is a utility the uses sysfs in kernels >= lk 2.5.50 to list information about all SCSI devices (including devices that use the SCSI stack such as USB mass storage devices). Both a compact format (default), one line per device, and a "classic" format (like the output of 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi') are supported.

A '-g' switch has been added in version 0.03 to show the corresponding scsi generic device name:

$ lsscsi
[0:0:1:0]    disk    FUJITSU  MAM3184MP        0105  /dev/sda
[2:0:0:0]    CDROM   CREATIVE CD5233E          1.00  /dev/sr0

$ lsscsi -g
[0:0:1:0]    disk    FUJITSU  MAM3184MP        0105  /dev/sda  /dev/sg0
[2:0:0:0]    CDROM   CREATIVE CD5233E          1.00  /dev/sr0  /dev/sg1

Patrick Mansfield's patch to output the scsi_level in "classic" mode is also included. The scsi_level is also output with the '-l' switch. [Until Patrick's kernel patch for sysfs to output scsi_level gets into the kernel, the ANSI SCSI revision will appear as "?".]
