lsscsi: List all SCSI devices with detailed attributes.
$ lsscsi -L
try on your machine

The command "lsscsi -L" is used to list the storage devices in a system, along with their corresponding transport layer attributes. Let's break down its components:

  • "lsscsi": This is the main command that stands for "list SCSI devices". It is used to gather information about SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) devices in the system.

  • "-L": This is an option or flag that specifies to show the transport layer attributes of the devices. The transport layer is responsible for handling data transmission between the host system and the storage devices. These attributes can include the connection type, location, and other details regarding how the devices are connected to the system.

By running "lsscsi -L", you can obtain a comprehensive list of storage devices in the system, such as SCSI disks, CD/DVD drives, tape drives, and so on, along with the transport layer attributes associated with them.
