Package: cciss-vol-status
Version: 1.09-2
Severity: normal

The '-u  --try-unknown-devices' options dont work with 'hpsa' devices.

If you look through the code, you will see that is_hpsa is called before the 
flag related to the '-u' option has any effect.

I noticed this on gen8 blades.

When using the older 'cciss' driver, this isnt the case.

The is_hpsa function looks to see if the scsi device is HP before sending 
commands. Im not sure if it would be safe to allow HP commands to be sent to 
anything?

Either way, this doesnt work as I expected and isnt mentioned in the man page. 
Though its hinted at.
