I've not kept up with the talk on devfs...but has it been considered that
a naming scheme sort of like the following be used?
/dev/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0/d0l0s0
i.e. controler / number / id lun partition
type within
type
That would remove the ambiguity of having a controller0, controller1,
etc...since SCSI host probing order can change, but the driver name is
less likely to, and you wouldn't have to worry about device names changing
just because you add a device or controller.
Adding 2 disks to separate controllers on a 2.0.x system that already had
several disks on each, I managed to really confuse myself.
