# mount /dev/sdb /btrfs

# echo "scsi remove-single-device 1 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

# lsscsi
  [0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      VBOX HARDDISK    1.0   /dev/sda
  [2:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      VBOX HARDDISK    1.0   /dev/sdc

# btrfs su create /btrfs/sv1
Create subvolume '/btrfs/sv1'
ERROR: cannot create subvolume - Input/output error

# echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

# lsscsi
[0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      VBOX HARDDISK    1.0   /dev/sda
[1:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      VBOX HARDDISK    1.0   /dev/sdd <---
[2:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      VBOX HARDDISK    1.0   /dev/sdc

The same disk comes back as /dev/sdd

(the issue is same if disk is mounted as an ext4 fs)

Thanks

That has been called a feature for several years now.
You (and any program that tries to track such things)
should be using the Device Identification VPD page
(e.g. see 'sg_vpd -i <device>').

And if the "VBOX HARDDISK" doesn't have that page
containing a unique identifier then you need to speak
to Oracle.

Linux could be more helpful and make those identifiers
available in sysfs; then lsscsi might display those
identifiers. The udev infrastructure tracks down some
of those identifiers, see the /dev/disk folder.
