Ok, I'm not familiar with the cciss driver. It looks like it lives outside the linux scsi subsystem but according to Documentation/cciss.txt it can subsequently "engage" the scsi subsystem?? If it is outside the scsi subsystem then it doesn't get corresponding sg devices. However as part of the block subsystem it might accept the SG_IO ioctl (if it accepts SCSI commands and it is implemented). > I tried lsscsi, however it would not print out the non-sg block devices. > > I have attached the output of tree /sys and the output of lsscsi and uname. > One can search for cciss to find the devices and the driver. > I still cannot see a relationship. <snip sysfs dump> > [0:0:0:0] storage COMPAQ MSA1000 4.32 - > [0:0:0:3] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sda > [0:0:0:4] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdb > [0:0:0:5] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdc > [0:0:0:6] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdd > [0:0:0:7] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sde > [1:0:0:0] storage COMPAQ MSA1000 4.32 - > [1:0:0:3] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdf > [1:0:0:4] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdg > [1:0:0:5] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdh > [1:0:0:6] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdi > [1:0:0:7] disk COMPAQ MSA1000 VOLUME 4.32 /dev/sdj Well this looks like output from lsscsi. And those devices look like they could be associated with cciss, especially the compaq "storage" devices. These devices should have corresponding sg device nodes. Try "lsscsi -g". Still a bit unclear as hosts 0 and 1 are Fibre Channel judging from the sysfs output for them.
