An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for sg3_utils provides several fixes:
rescan-scsi-bus.sh:
- Enhanced the udevadm_settle function, and changed calls to udevadm
trigger to
only use sd devices, to prevent it from hanging when a udev event is
stuck on a dm-multipath device in recovery mode.
- Enhanced findremapped and findmultipath to handle another case where
udev might have already updated the scsi id, but multipath has not.
- Added retries when flushing removed multipaths, as it can sometimes fail
transiently.
- Enhanced findresized to print the before and after sizes of multipath
devices.
- When passing the flag to find remapped LUNs, it will now also try to
update the size.
sg_inq:
- Fixed display of software version and date, and added decoding of
additional features for rdac page c2.
- Updated decoding of rdac c9 page to be current.
sg_rdac:
- Added support for rdac extended page 2c and mode select(10) to all
functionality.
- Fixed mode select(6) logic, as there was an invalid parameter preventing
it from working.
- Updated feature decoding in print_rdac_mode to be current.
- Added -6 flag to force to use 6 byte CDBs.
sg_vpd_vendor:
- vp_arr[] data structure had rdac incorrectly listed as an EMC array.
- Updated rdac page names.
- Fixed rdac page c0 decoding to get correct number of bytes for board
identifier.
- Same fixes and enhancements for decoding as in sg_inq for pages c2 and
c9.
- Updated rdac pages c3 and c4 decoding to decode additional information.
- Updated rdac page c8 to decode initiator transport IDs for FC, SAS,
iSCSI, and SRP.
