sdparm and sg3-utils compiled in OE

February 05, 2025 — BarryK

I have compiled 'sdparm' and 'sg3-utils' packages in OpenEmbedded, and added to the Easy Scarthgap package repository. You can install via PKGget, after updating the package database, or download directly:

sg3-utils has a utility that can detect if a drive supports TRIM, in cases where other methods fail. I will experiment with this.
