No. The SCSI generic driver (sg) is a character
device and thus cannot be mounted. Sg also has
no concept of partitions. Its unit of addressing
is a device and its transactions are in terms of
SCSI commands. No censorship other than requiring
read and write permissions on a device. For example
my disk has default (sensible) permissions:
$ cd /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/
$ ls -l disc generic
brw------- 1 root root 8, 0 Dec 31 1969 disc
crw------- 1 root root 21, 0 Dec 31 1969 generic
Those device filenames aren't really that old.
