This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- cosmic' to 'verification-done-cosmic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-cosmic' to 'verification-failed- cosmic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This can result in a user performing an operation on the wrong disk, possibly resulting in data loss. [Test Case] $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 13 12:26 platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26 platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26 platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part2 -> ../../sdb2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26 platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part3 -> ../../sdc3 Notice that there is no symlink for /dev/sdc. [Fix] ffeafdd2bf0b2 scsi: libsas: Fix rphy phy_identifier for PHYs with end devices attached [Regression Risk] This may change the by-path symlinks for disks on the system. While the new name would be the correct one - users maybe relying on the incorrect version. This could result in an unbootable system, requiring manual intervention to repair.
