Package: scsitools
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal
What's available:
scsiinfo -l
/dev/sda
As root, I try to benchmark 'sda' with 'sraw':
sraw /dev/sda ; echo $?
program sraw is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to
SG_IO
Size 0 sectorsize 0
Floating point exception
136
I'm not sure if the "Floating point exception" is a bug or not,
in any event, the "SG_IO" needs explaining. 'man sraw' doesn't
mention what the proper syntax is.
I also tried '/dev/sg*':
for f in /dev/sg*; do echo testing $f...; sraw $f; echo $?; done
testing /dev/sg0...
Size 0 sectorsize 0

Since there's only one drive, most of those can't work. Should
the error code be 0 when there's no drive?
If it matters, according to 'lshw' the specs for the SCSI hard drive
and adapter I'm testing with are:
*-scsi
description: SCSI storage controller
product: AHA-2940/2940W / AIC-7871
vendor: Adaptec
physical id: 13
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:13.0
version: 03
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master
configuration: driver=aic7xxx irq=11
*-scsi
physical id: 2
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
logical name: scsi0
configuration: driver=aic7xxx
*-channel
description: Channel 0
physical id: 0
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
*-disk
description: Disk
product: ST11200N
vendor: SEAGATE
physical id: 4
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:4.0
logical name: /dev/sda
version: 8334
size: 1005MB
capacity: 1014MB
capabilities: 5400rpm
configuration: ansiversion=2
The drive and controller do work together, the drive mounts, it
reads and writes OK.
Hope this helps...
