Linux Kernel SCSI Blacklist

Linux Kernel SCSI Blacklist

[HAMILTON,DAVID (HP-Ireland,ex2)]

I understand that this is not necessarily a bug, but I need to quickly
determine why the HP VA7410 disk array is listed in the scsi_scan.c file,
and the implications and/or correctness of the flags attached to it.

Apologies if this is not the correct place to ask, but I need help urgently
on this one.

Thanks,
	David.

The blacklist table in the scsi_scan.c file says the device has sparse
(non-consecutive) LUN numbers and that the probing must not stop at
first non-existing LUN, but instead all possible LUNs need to be probed.

This is most likely true.
