Hi, This post is to inform FreeBSD SCSI users that these packages have recently been updated. sg3_utils to version 1.45 see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html sdparm to version 1.11 see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sdparm.html ddpt to version 0.96 see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/ddpt.html smp_utils to version 0.99 see: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html All can be built with the conventional ./configure ; make ; make install sequence. On rare occasions ./autogen.sh may be needed before that sequence. Most recently tested on FreeBSD 12.1 . If you experience problems with these packages, please contact me. One thing that is implemented in Linux but not FreeBSD is a small SNTL (SCSI to NVMe Translation Layer). Intel originally wrote a supported a SNTL in the Linux kernel, then they literally pulled it. The main reason for this SNTL is that NVMe MI committee decided to support SES-3 using MI Commands: SES Send and SES Receive. One thing this SNTL allows is for the sg_ses to control and monitor NVMe arrays. If FreeBSD needs that functionality I would be happy to help a volunteer :-) Doug Gilbert _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-scsi To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
