From: Suzuki <suzuki@xxxxxxxxxx> proc_scsi_write doesn't return the "length" upon successfully removing a device; instead it returns 0. This causes commands like "echo" to redo the write(), which ends up in something like, $ echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi "-bash: echo: write error: No such device or address" , even though the device was removed.
