Chapter 1. Package Updates
230
In addition, these updated sg3_utils packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
• the "sg_map26" command was unable to correctly map the device names for greater than 32 tape
drives on a single system. This has been fixed so that it can correctly map 32 or more tape drives.
(
BZ#468040
1600
)
• the "sg_map26" command's usage information contained an incorrect statement regarding what
function the '--verbose' ('-v') flag performed. The usage information for this command has been
clarified. (
BZ#431190
1601
)
• the "sg_test_rwbuf" command's usage information showed the '--verbose' ('-v') description
twice, and omitted the line describing the '--version' option. This has been fixed in these updated
packages. (
BZ#431193
1602
)
• the "sginfo" command's information page omitted a description for the '-v' option. (
BZ#433614
1603
)
• the "sg_wr_mode" command's information page contained the option '--hex', which is non-existent,
instead of '--help'. (
BZ#433773
1604
)
• due to an option-handling error, the "sg_get_config" command's '--brief' and '-b' options, which show
undecoded feature names, presented differing output. (
BZ#433779
1605
)
• the "sg_ses" command's usage information contained a typo: the option is actually '--byte1' instead
of simply '--byte'. (
BZ#435100
1606
)
• the "sg_read_long" command sometimes exited with an incorrect exit code. This has been fixed in
these updated packages. (
BZ#435275
1607
)
• the "sg_persist" command's usage information incorrectly contained a reference to the '--prout-sark'
option instead of, correctly, '--param-sark'. (
BZ#435677
1608
)
• the sg_wr_mode(8) man page contained, in the "EXAMPLES" section, examples that used incorrect
options with the "sg_modes" comamnd. These command string examples have been corrected.
