Every dmesg users provide contains double info about identification of [scsi,ata,..] disk drives found in the system. Here's mine: scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST3808110AS n/a PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 loading module sd_mod sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 > sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk Why the lines beginning with "sd 2:0:0:0:" gets duplicated? Can this be fixed somehow? All the messages are in drivers/scsi/sd_mod.c, printed out by functions called from within sd_revalidate_disk(). This routine gets called from two contexts: sd_store_cache_type(), which is a sysfs thing, it seems, and sd_probe(), which gets called from .probe method of scsi_driver So it seems to me that scsi_driver.probe() method gets called twice for some reason... This question has been asked several times, but I don't recall any answers to it.
