Here's EMC's post in the archives describing the original problem:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=99790431900006&r=1&w=2
A better method is to not mark it offline, and have sd_probe not attach
based on the PQ fields, like Mike Anderson and (I thought) Doug Ledford
had proposed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=99837483305810&w=2
Above patch should be modified to check the scsi_device inquiry data
rather than store the PQ separately. This method also means we don't have
offlined devices showing up under sd.
