To facilitate testing Linux 64 bit LUNs (the kernel holds
only 32 bit LUNs internally at the moment), I have put up
beta versions of lsscsi and the sg3_utils packages, see the
top of this page: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/
lsscsi version 0.27 (beta 1) adds a --lunhex (-x) option,
here is an example of its use:
# lsscsi -gs
[0:0:0:0] disk ATA INTEL SSDSC2CW12 400i /dev/sda /dev/sg0
[7:0:0:1] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb /dev/sg1
[7:0:0:49409]wlun Linux scsi_debug 0004 - /dev/sg2
# lsscsi -g --lunhex
[0:0:0:0x0000] disk ATA INTEL SSDSC2CW12 400i /dev/sda
[7:0:0:0x0001] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb
[7:0:0:0xc101] wlun Linux scsi_debug 0004 -
# lsscsi -xx
[0:0:0:0x0000000000000000] disk ATA INTEL SSDSC2CW12 400i /dev/sda
[7:0:0:0x0001000000000000] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb
[7:0:0:0xc101000000000000] wlun Linux scsi_debug 0004 -
Additionally if sysfs offers a 64 bit (unsigned) integer in decimal
for a LUN then this version will use it (previous lsscsi versions
would have truncated the LUN to 32 bits).
In the sg3_utils beta the sg_luns utility is expanded to better
handle T10 (SAM-5) LUNs and represent them in Linux 'word
flipped' form if requested. sg_luns has an additional
--test=LUNHEX option that can be used for decoding arbitrary
T10 LUNs, for example:
# sg_luns --test=020304aa01bb00ff
Decoded LUN:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=2, target=3
>>Second level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=4, target=170
>>Third level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=1, target=187
>>Fourth level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: lun=255
# sg_luns --test=020304aa01bb00ff -H
Decoded LUN:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x02, target=0x03
>>Second level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x04, target=0xaa
>>Third level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x01, target=0xbb
>>Fourth level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: lun=0xff
# sg_luns --test=020304aa01bb00ffL -H
Linux 'word flipped' integer LUN representation: 0xff01bb04aa0203
Decoded LUN:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x02, target=0x03
>>Second level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x04, target=0xaa
>>Third level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: bus_id=0x01, target=0xbb
>>Fourth level addressing:
Peripheral device addressing: lun=0xff
Now I'm hoping Hannes Reinecke will issue a new set of the
"scsi: 64-bit LUN support" patches that address the issues
that have been brought up. Then the real testing can begin.
