[lug] Problem with nStor NexStor 8Le

[Tony Dyson]

Rob's memory is not failing him. The 8Le currently has it's disks on LUN 
3. Thanks for the "rescan-scsi-bus" suggestion; it's an interesting 
script & very informative.

Now I'll have to RTFM to find out how to hard-code a different LUN for 
scsi1 ...
