------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-08-13 06:49 ------- See http://sg.torque.net/sg/u_index.html: "In the linux kernel 2.4 series most these utilities must be used with a SCSI generic (sg) driver device name (e.g. /dev/sg0). In the lk 2.6 series almost all of these utilities can be used with the primary device names as well (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/sdc0, /dev/st0 and /dev/hdd (if it is an ATAPI device)). The SCSI generic (sg) interface still represents a cleaner interface than the primary device names since the drivers behind primary device names have their own policies, may interfere with error processing and in some cases run their own state machines." I was under the impression that using e.g. /dev/hdc would invoke/be handled by the sg driver if it pointed to an ATAPI device. From the above, I'm not sure that's the case. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
