Hi,

My raidcontroller (CCISS) supports SG_IO in recent kernel versions,
but it does not work as a scsi device in sgpdd-survey because it does
not show in sg_map.

Hence, I need to set it up as a raw device to get sgpdd-survey to
work. But why use raw devices when it is easier to use direct i/o. (no
need to recompile kernel with raw support etc.)

Is there a difference between direct i/o and raw devices ?

If not, Is there a reason to sgpdd-survey is using raw devices rather
than the direct flag to spg_dd ?

/Jakob
