scanpci on linux

[Amit Dixit_2]

HI,
To scan the attached pci device on the
linux system is
#scanpci

Is there any command through which i can
see whether my linux box is sensing the dat
drive attached to it or not.
or as a matter of fact for any device i am
unable to track down from the output i am
getting from scanpci.

Thanks,
Amit.

"dmesg" should show devices that are recognized during boot.

"cat /proc/scsi/scsi" will show scsi devices that are attached and "cat /proc/pci" is a good one too.

In fact, there's much fun to be had from looking at the contents of files in /proc

You can also use the "scsiadd" command or 'abuse' the scanbus option from cdrecord: "cdrecord -scanbus".
