Hi List.
I've got scsiinfo-1.6 from RedHat's ftp site and would like to use it
via the command line (I've got only 8 MB of RAM on this box, don't
need more for regular work, and have to make 100 disks fault-tolerant,
so they do AWRE and ARRE).
Doing scsiinfo -Xe /dev/sdb I get
0 0 ......
while the numbers correspond to the values given in the verbose display
from scsiinfo -e. I have to change the first two numbers to 1, right ?
What about EER, PER, DTE, DCR ?
And how do I write the new values back ? The usage says "expert use only",
so I beg the experts to step forward and share some of their power with
me :-)
THe disks are to be used in standalone field data recording and we would
like not to lose a single byte of the data recorded, so ... all features
of newer (SCSI-2) disks are needed.
UNfortunately I only managed to find a very large SCSI-2 documentation,
it's like finding a needle in a haystack...
Hints are welcome.
Steffen
