I just got Test 3 Installed. Great work!
Is there any reason CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN isn't enabled in the kernel?
I ask because I tried to get my SanDistk ImageMate (CF/SD USB card reader) working. It is supposed to show up as two SCSI devices, sda1 and sdb1, but apparently that only happens if CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is enabled in the kernel; without it, only the CF slot works, showing up as /dev/sda1.

In /etc/modprobe.conf, add:
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=2
If your modprobe.conf does not have an "alias scsi_hostadapter <blah>" in it, that should fix it. If it does, you will need to rebuild your initrd using mkinitrd and reboot for this to work.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I was asking because it seems like USB CF readers are the sort of thing that should Just Work (or at least should just require adding a line to /etc/fstab). So is there any reason this number isn't set higher by default?

I have to agree. It shouldn't break anything and is one of those things that just "should work" and would cause a LOT of frustration to users. I speak from personal experience.

See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37935 for the older reason why. More breaks with multi-lun than breaks without, apparently.
Then see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85851 for a newer version of same.
Ah, however multi-unit devices such as USB card readers are getting more common than SCSI devices. I only use SCSI in my servers, all my desktops are IDE-only for a while now.

Bugzilla (or send upstream) info on multi-lun card readers tht dont just work. They can be added to the whitelist

My understanding is that it is not safe to probe all possible lun numbers on all scsi adapters (as in "crossing the streams" unsafe) so the default is to not enable them.

I've added a half dozen or so to the whitelist in the last month or two. Send me your dmesg output, and I'll add it to the list.

I added the info to this bug: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85851 It looks like someone is on it and that this is the right bug for this information.

Another for whitelist (Cbox 3 5 1/2 bay with 6in1 card reader (came with my motherboard)):
