Um, except that that isn't the LKML, it's just *A* linux-related ML.
And I'd missed a typo in "dete^r^ministic".

Due to changes in the Linux kernel, the probing of SCSI devices is no
longer deterministic. This could be an issue for installations that
rely on the disk probing order. Two possible alternatives using links
in <filename>/dev/disk/by-path</filename> or a <systemitem
role="package">udev</systemitem> rule are suggested in
<ulink url="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/59eedd28-25d4-7899-7c3c-89fe7fdd4b43@acm.org/";>this
mailing list post</ulink>.
