/dev/sga (Linux) SCSI Command Stuff

[Larry Rosenman]

Greetings,
    I was wondering if any of the developers or hackers had ever considered
making the linux emulation strong enough to run things like Seagate's
Seatools?

    I have a disk that's reporting a bad sector, and Seagate is insisting
that I run their software to test it.  Unfortunately, their software is
Windows or Linux ONLY. 

    I'm wondering if there is any chance that we might see enough of the
emulation to be able to send generic SCSI commands from a linux binary on a
FreeBSD box.

Ideas, comments, "you're crazy" notes, etc welcome.

Thanks!
