hmmm i never heard of those tools, and they are not on my system. what package are sg_scan and sginfo in?
(you can see by going: whereis sg_scan - that will give you the full path to sg_scan, something like /usr/sbin/sg_scan then rpm -qf /usr/bin/sg_scan alternatively rpm -qf $(which sg_scan) is shorter) fdisk -l should work as root, but not sure if it extends by default to scsi drives?
