I'm allways confused to see this kind messages output with duplicated
SCSI subsystem initialization device reports in kernel logs.
It it not kind of bug ?
Usualy information about single SCSI device takes:
SCSI device sdb: 71687340 512-byte hdwr sectors (36704 MB)
sdb: Write Protect is off
sdb: Mode Sense: cb 00 00 08
SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write back

sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3

.. 18 lines (14 after remove duplicated lines). Is it not to much ?
Best IMO will write only information like "found/initialize device <foo>;
</phisical/path>" like in Solaris. All other detailed information can be
IMO moved to sysfs (informations about partition/slices are now
in sysfs).
