Being able to identify a storage array unambiguously is essential for
the new ALUA device handler algorithm introduced by this patch series.
What if a new storage array is introduced that is not covered by one of
the heuristics in this patch ? Has it been considered to let storage
array identification occur in user space instead of in the kernel ?
Thanks,
Bart.
