Thanks, I will have a look at that tool.

You might have missed Hannes' patch series through which 64-bit LUN
support was added in the SCSI core and in most SCSI LLD drivers. The
description of one of the patches in that series reads as follows:
"The SCSI standard defines 64-bit values for LUNs, and large arrays
employing large or hierarchical LUN numbers become more and more
common.
So update the linux SCSI stack to use 64-bit LUN numbers."
Is it OK for you if I resend this patch with that text added in the
patch description ?
Bart.
