Severity: minor

  When I log into a Dell MD3000i disk array using iscsiadm, I see the
two volumes that I've configured show up as scsi disks, which is as it
should be:

  I also see it attempt to bring up a third "disk", which is actually
the in-band management interface, and I see a number of I/O errors as it
tries to read the partition table:

  I'm not sure if this is something the enclosure is reporting oddly
that there's no way for the kernel to get right.  It's also easily work-
around-able by simply disabling the in-band management interface in the
Dell tools.  Nonetheless it seems that in a perfect world, this
interface would be detected for what it is and not exposed as a disk
(even if it's not going to be exposed as a management interface either).
  FWIW, the iSCSI subsystem maintainer has said that this is something
that needs to be addressed in the scsi subsystem, and not anything he
has direct control over from the iSCSI layer.
  Cheers!
