It shouldn't be doing this ... the standards are pretty clear, say SPC-3
section 6.4.2

"The standard INQUIRY data shall contain at least 36 bytes"

Horrible things happen when this rule is violated (as it is by some
badly constructed devices), so I'd really like to leave the print in so
we know what we're debugging.

Can't you fix ibmvscsi to be standards compliant?
