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 :-)
