Bluntly, fixing it to work should not be the highest priority.
Having an error message when it fails is much more important.
Now, it gives no indication there is a problem. Silent failure.
Is there some reason that it can't log a message? Is this in
sr.c where it looks like it just loops up to the max number of
seen-at-boot + SR_EXTRA_DEVS, and it needs to do more to check if it has
more, or is it something in hosts.c or scsi.c? Can someone help point me
in the right direction where the error message should be created?
