A strace showed that it checked up to /dev/sdh and the started looking at /dev/scdX. It seems simple enough to let it check /dev/sd[i-z] as well (perhaps stop when the /dev/sdX file (not device!) doesn't exist). Anyway, yes, sginfo shows all the devices: # sginfo -l /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi /dev/sdj /dev/sdk /dev/sdl /dev/sdm /dev/sdn /dev/sdo /dev/sdp However, for e.g. showing the serial number, sginfo needs the sg module loaded, whereas scsiinfo doesn't (2.6.11 kernel). So both have their positive and negative sides... Paul Slootman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
