As long as things aren't multi-path, or multi-lun, it's probably fine.

With multi-path (ie same disk reachable multiple ways), it's probably fine
too, but let's face it, who the hell knows? But it's not going to be an
issue for laptops and normal desktops.

For multi-lun, I suspect the luns are related, and there might be some
ordering issues. But it's _likely_ all fine there too.

The nice thing about systems with wires (ie USB, SCSI, SATA) is that it's
really hard to make different devices have odd dependencies on each other.
The wires tend to _be_ the topology.
