   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for sg3_utils provides several fixes:

   rescan-scsi-bus.sh:

   - Enhanced the udevadm_settle function, and changed calls to udevadm
     trigger to
     only use sd devices, to prevent it from hanging when a udev event is
      stuck on a dm-multipath device in recovery mode.
   - Enhanced findremapped and findmultipath to handle another case where
     udev might have already updated the scsi id, but multipath has not.
   - Added retries when flushing removed multipaths, as it can sometimes fail
     transiently.
   - Enhanced findresized to print the before and after sizes of multipath
     devices.
   - When passing the flag to find remapped LUNs, it will now also try to
     update the size.

   sg_inq:

   - Fixed display of software version and date, and added decoding of
     additional features for rdac page c2.
   - Updated decoding of rdac c9 page to be current.

   sg_rdac:

   - Added support for rdac extended page 2c and mode select(10) to all
     functionality.
   - Fixed mode select(6) logic, as there was an invalid parameter preventing
     it from working.
   - Updated feature decoding in print_rdac_mode to be current.
   - Added -6 flag to force to use 6 byte CDBs.

   sg_vpd_vendor:

   - vp_arr[] data structure had rdac incorrectly listed as an EMC array.
   - Updated rdac page names.
   - Fixed rdac page c0 decoding to get correct number of bytes for board
     identifier.
   - Same fixes and enhancements for decoding as in sg_inq for pages c2 and
     c9.
   - Updated rdac pages c3 and c4 decoding to decode additional information.
   - Updated rdac page c8 to decode initiator transport IDs for FC, SAS,
     iSCSI, and SRP.
