[pve-devel] restrict scsi-block to /dev/disk/

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I found these majors in doc :

major : 8,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135

But they are more than 16 minors ? (kernel 2.6).

Checking major isn't enough ?

I can see 800 iscsi luns disk on my host

There are 16 minor numbers for each major ==> 16x16 = 256 SCSI disks 

Note: we need to check major and minor numbers
