sg3_utils-1.22 available

sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending
SCSI (and some ATA) commands to devices. This package targets
the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. In the lk 2.6
series these utilities (except sgp_dd) can be used with any
devices that support the SG_IO ioctl.

This version adds the sg_sat_identify utility. This sends
an ATA IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE command through a SAT layer
and can format its response suitable for hdparm ('--Istdin')
to decode. See the CHANGELOG for more information.

A tarball, rpm and deb can be found at (see table 2):
