sg3_utils-1.22 available

sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending SCSI (and some ATA) commands to devices. This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. In the lk 2.6 series these utilities (except sgp_dd) can be used with any devices that support the SG_IO ioctl.

This version adds the sg_sat_identify utility. This sends an ATA IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE command through a SAT layer and can format its response suitable for hdparm ('--Istdin') to decode. See the CHANGELOG for more information.

A tarball, rpm and deb can be found at (see table 2):

For future posts it would be really coold if you could just inline the changelog into the accouncement mail so the reader can skip over it without starting a browser.
