Thanks for confirming that I'm not alone with this "feature"

In the above example, it's much fun if you want to wipe the two partitions on
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SHP_LOGICAL_VOLUME_500143801722C0B0 and therefore
wipe this device. You end up wiping the wrong disk!

When I see such things my blood start boiling :(

Regards,
Simon
