This parameter is an aid to debugging.
Not true; it really is a module parameter and can be used for multiple devices at once. And while it is meant partially for debugging, it's also meant for testing or for when there's no permanent unusual_devs quirk entry. > > I might want to use two different usb-scsi devices that have different > > requirements. > > Indeed. Quirky devices must be added to the quirks file. As Hans said (and as described in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt), the parameter format is a comma-separated list of vendor-id:product-id:flags triples.
