sg_logs: output for Device Statistics page (14h), serial numbers should be strings? about sg3_utils HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes they should. Should be fixed in svn revision 1058 which is now mirrored here.

@patrickdowling, can you verify this? How does the output look like after the fix?

Great. I don't have access today but I'll check the output on Monday.

Okay, the output both default and json looks much better:

Device statistics log page (ssc-3 and adc)
  Lifetime media loads: 0
  Drive manufacturer's serial number: 5000000100
  Drive serial number: 50000001

            {
                "parameter_code": {
                    "i": 64,
                    "meaning": "Drive manufacturer's serial number"
                },
                "serial_number": "5000000100  "
            },
            {
                "parameter_code": {
                    "i": 65,
                    "meaning": "Drive serial number"
                },
                "serial_number": "50000001\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00"
            }

(Please ignore the malformed string, that’s a broken response from the emulated device code. Mea culpa.)
I'll see if there's a physical drive available.

I never did get access to a physical device to check against, but I think we can close this.
Sorry for the dangling issue. Thanks again!
