While we are at that, ghost (or non-active) paths lead to _tons_ of errors while the kernel stubbornly tries to read the partition table, totally flooding any useful information out of the kernel buffers. Can't we do a test-unit-ready before trying to read and then just not read the partition table w/o so much noise?
