I would prefer the directory structure to be named by type of device,
and have device names be the SCSI path. Like:
/dev/disk/h0c0t4l0s1
/dev/tape/h0c0t5
And perhaps
/dev/cdrom/h0c0t2
and maybe even
/dev/disk/ide0a
/dev/floppy/0
I don't want to hunt around for e.g. my tape drive or cdrom, it's much
more common to look for a device of a specific type, than for a specific
target/lun/slice or whatever.
