This was discussed here a couple of weeks ago. The bottomline was that eventually we will have something like the Solaris naming scheme (also containing the LUN!), mapping the old names by means of links.
Heck, and we need support for more than 16 SCSI disks. I am going to test the IBM #7190 SSA-to-SCSI converter (a.k.a. Vicom box) with Linux soon to get Linux into the official compatibility list used by IBM sales, and I am currently limited to attaching 14 9.1 Gig SSA disks because my machine has already 2 internal SCSI disks. /&%$§&%
