Hi,

just reading this discussion, I hope you all are aware of scsidev, which
provides some of the functionality needed.
Apart from allowing you to specify devces according to the bus topology
(just as devfs does), it also allows for aliases, based on various things,
such as names, device types, model or serial numbers (got from INQUIRY
with page code 0x80).
It may miss some mechanisms to deal with devices without this serial no,
e.g., but in general I do not really see why it would not be useable.
