 Increasing the max_lun number in the code is not the solution.  Which 
 arbitrary number should be chosen?  If it's increased to 32, what about 
 those who want 64?  What about the problems created for those with older
 hardware that can't handle high lun scanning?  The correct action 
 requires a significant amount of code to be written and tested; if it
 were trivial it would have been done already.  I know this response is
 unsatisfying and slightly aloof, and I apologize for that, but right now
 it's easier to ask that admins recompile for this situation than it is
 to tear up the core SCSI scanning code.
