Start adding support for some of the log pages (i.e. view error logs on the drive). My drive apparently does not support this. Mine says it does, but returns garbage that does not conform the SCSI-2 docs (Michael Weller). I had the opportunity to get access to more devices, but none supported proper log pages, go figure. (Michael Weller) The SCSI issue command ioctl for devices allows only for 4K of data, the generic scsi interface would be better, but is not what the user want to do (he wants: scsiinfo /dev/sda). The utility would have to search the corresponding generic device itself and use the device which is better suited for that task. Even worse, not everyone might have the generic scsi interface support compiled in. Someone could add that, and it even applies even to scsiformat, but I'm just too lazy and the results might not be worth it. I don't really care for the factory defects list, and if a device accumulates more than a few grown defects it needs to be dumped anyhow. Michael (eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de) Manual pages for the commands, however the tcl/tk interfaces basically explain themself and the commands have proper usage messages compiled in. They are expert only used by definition. Maybe it is wasted time to write man pages... I was not able to test the 'query progress' from device support much. It might need more work..
