Please take my previous comment about how to ask good questions seriously! Drop the "hi" and "thanks", make sure the first few lines or the question introduce the question instead of being meta data so that the home page summaries are useful, and always show what attempts you have made to solve problems yourself. I answered this question by copy and pasting a bit of it into google and copy and pasting a bit from the result summaries back to you (after checking it in my terminal). – Caleb Jun 17 '11 at 11:04

I don't have /proc/scsi/scsi on my system with 2.6.39.1 kernel. I would use 'lsscsi' command:

~> lsscsi -v
[0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      ST3500418AS      CC38  /dev/sda
  dir: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0  [/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0]
[1:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      WDC WD2500KS-00M 02.0  /dev/sdb
  dir: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/1:0:0:0  [/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0]

2.6.38.6 here and I do have it. I wonder if there is a kernel config option for providing that interface. The reference I found to using that proc entry was as old as the hills. Also my distro doesn't have lsscsi by default although I see there is an optional package for it. – Caleb Jun 17 '11 at 19:01
