I also changed the find command again and it also works, with one nit, 
which is probably just CentOS/RHEL being odd. See the following output:

Is sg driver loaded?
     host0: /dev/sr0 HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20

The various links in sysfs refer to sr0 but I don't have a /dev/sr0, I 
have /dev/scd0. I guess that's the udev rules Red Hat chose. Anyway, my 
fix was to add 2>/dev/null into the sginfo command, which makes the 
warning go away - sginfo -s /dev/scd0 gives me no serial anyway.

The only other improvement would be better formatting for controllers 
with multiple devices, e.g. IDE interfaces, port multipliers and real 
SCSI cards, which could have 2, 5 or 15 devices attached so displaying 
the SCSI device ID could be helpful in those cases. It doesn't apply to 
me but I thought of it when someone had both primary and slave devices 
on their IDE controller, and someone else mentioned port multipliers.

Cheers,

John.
