Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When running the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script, due to incorrect syntax in redirecting output to the /dev/null device file while executing the /bin/rm utility, the redirection did not happen but /dev/null was instead interpreted as a file to be removed. As a consequence, running rescan-scsi-bus.sh with the "--update" option removed /dev/null during execution. This bug has been fixed, and /dev/null is no longer removed by rescan-scsi-bus.sh.
