Anton,

Actually, I have written just such a user-space service (sgraidmon) to
monitor the SCSI bus, and it does implement SAF-TE, but not SES yet.
See http://scsirastools.sourceforge.net/ for more info and downloads.

It would be great if we could also have a SCSI Enclosure driver to
handle insert and removals. This could all be in userspace (using the SG
ioctl). In fact I played with some code from Matt Jacob a while ago and
hacked it about to do scsi-add-single+raidhotadd and
raidhotremove+scsi-remove-single.

Do your drive cases support SES?
