Public bug reported: The /dev/disk/by-path links to scsi disks are supposed to be of the form "scsi-$host:$bus:$device$lun". The host portion is always zero, leading to duplicates from different hosts. It appears these numbers are pulled from ID_PATH, and I can't figure out where this variable comes from.
I noticed this while playing around with the lio fake scsi target adapter. Here is the full udev info on a disk created on such an adapter. As you can see, it has been assigned scsi host id 13, so that is what it should be using for the $host digit, rather than zero.
