I am seeking examples to use for a BSDA study guide on using some *BSD
specific utilities which can be used to troubleshoot PCI, ATA, and SCSI
devices.
If you can run a few commands on your systems to show some of your
hardware detection steps and send me examples off-list, it would be much
appreciated.
Basically, I am looking for the command-line you use and some small
snippets of the output.
And maybe also share a quick explanation of what you are looking for and
what the results show.
Here are some tools (but maybe you have others too?):
pciconf(8)
atacontrol(8)
camcontrol(8)
atactl(8)
scsictl(8)
scsi(8)
pcictl(8)
If you want to compare output from different commands and/or with dmesg
output that would be great too.
Also, please let me know what BSD and version you are using.
Remember off-list is fine.
Thanks!
