Hi !<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Sorry if I'm not up-to-date with SANE development, but we just had a very </i><br>
<i>&gt; nasty problem in our workstation pool having to do with Linux' </i><br>
<i>&gt; a-bit-too dynamic management of /dev/sgX. </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Is it possible to have SANE do some sanity checks before it sends out </i><br>
<i>&gt; SCSI commands so it doesn't cause harddisks to go mad when you plug in an </i><br>
<i>&gt; extra SCSI HD, thus shifting /dev/sgX devices. :-}</i><br>
<p>
Most backends AFAIK _do_ some sanity checks before sending device specific<br>
commands. I.e. they usually do an inquiry and check if the HW strings match<br>
what they expect.<br>
<p>
For additional protection, you might be able to wrap up the applications<br>
in scripts, that do checks with /proc/scsi/scsi.<br>
<p>
