Mark,
There are several utilities discussed at this url:
http://www.torque.net/sg/u_index.html
including scsidev and sg_map. Devfs shows you this mapping
via its hierarchy:
$ ls -l
total 0
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   0 Dec 31  1969 disc
crw-r-----    1 root     root      21,   0 Dec 31  1969 generic
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   1 Dec 31  1969 part1
$ pwd
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/


None of these approaches is completely satisfactory. Kurt Garloff
is working on a patch that seems to address this problem quite
cleanly:

$ cat /proc/scsi/map
# C,B,T,U	Type	onl	sg_nm	sg_dev	nm	dev
0,0,00,00	05	1	sg0	c:15:00	sr0	b:0b:00
1,0,01,00	05	1	sg1	c:15:01	sr1	b:0b:01
1,0,03,00	05	1	sg3	c:15:03	sr2	b:0b:02

I think it would be a good idea as well.

SCSI host/channel/lun/part to /dev/sd* or maj/minor mapping

[Mark Atwood]

Is there a mapping between the Host,Channel,Id,Lun of a SCSI device as
reported in /proc/scsi/scsi, and the the /dev/sd* names and/or the
major/minor device numbers?

I've done some experamentation, and the more obvious ways of doing
the mapping dont seem to be 100%.
