Do they have ID or LUN? Nothing but SPI (parallel scsi) has a target id. Everything that broadly falls under SAM has luns. Because SPI is dying transport the scsi midlayer will get rid of having a mandatory target id mid-term. Relying on the target id to have any useful meaning is dangerous, it doesn't have a really useful meaning on anything but SPI. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
