.BI drive_scsi_dev_family= sr | scd | sg
Linux specific: Select a SCSI device file family to be used for drive command
transactions. Normally this is /dev/sgN but on modern kernels it might be
helpful to use drive_scsi_dev_family=sr in order to meet other programs at
a common device file for each drive. On kernel 2.4 this will find no drives.
Device file family /dev/hdX on kernel 2.6 is not affected by this setting.

Linux specific:
Try to exclusively reserve device files /dev/srN, /dev/scdM, /dev/stK of drive.
