Description James Bottomley 2005-08-26 15:30:39 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
We have a cluster application which we'd like to use SCSI-3 persistent group reservations on.  We'd also like to use the existin commands in sg3_utils to manipulate them rather than rolling our own.

sg_persist has been in sg3_utils since version 1.07 (just one revision beyond what redhat ships).  The currently shipping verson of sg3_utils is 1.16

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sg3_utils-1.06-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to execute sg_persist
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  gives file not found

Expected Results:  puts a persistent reservation on the device

Additional info:

The source for sg3_utils is

http://sg.torque.net/sg/

We'd really appreciate Red Hat shipping any version from 1.07 on, but if you're going to update, then updating to the latest version would seem to make sense.

Also, the 1.06 sg3_utils that redhat ships (RHEL4 U2 included) has the wrong
return codes.  In particular, sg_turs returns 0 when with the latest upstream
sg3_utils returns 1, e.g.:

[root@lab13-11 snapper]# sg_turs /dev/sg1
tur: scsi status: Check Condition
Current, Sense key: Illegal Request
[valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Additional sense: Logical unit not supported
Raw sense data (in hex):
  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 25 00 00 00 00 00
plus...: Driver_status=0x08 (DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK)
Completed 1 Test Unit Ready commands with 1 errors
[root@lab13-11 snapper]# echo $?
0
[root@lab13-11 snapper]# rpm -Uvh sg3_utils-1.17-1.i386.rpm
libsgutils-1_0-1.17-1.i386.rpm

[root@lab13-11 snapper]# sg_turs /dev/sg1

Completed 1 Test Unit Ready commands with 1 errors
[root@lab13-11 snapper]# echo $?
1

Just more justification for redhat to update sg3_utils... fyi,
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh uses sg_turs and relies on
the correct exit status for it to work properly.

As an updates, is still under evaluation but of course will be fixed (latest
version) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Read ya, Phil
