Btw, why hasn't this been CC'd to linux-scsi at the very least? The
SCSI disk (sd) driver is obviously the sociopath here. It should
really differentiate disks from libata and usb-storage/uas, and wait
for at least a minute to see if there's gonna be an ATA drive popping
up before enumerating disks from the latter. Sociopaths like me that
put the root filesystem on an UAS drive should really be ignored.
Wait, there's NVMe! Problem solved.
We most certainly cannot introduce such a delay. If this really
must be done, we need synchronisation primitives between the
subsystemes, or we need stable names in kernel space.
