I queried it less for what it does specifically than when it seems to
appear in my logs. Note the scsi generic sg0 is attached well before sd
is attached to the device:
[ 4.462868] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100
[ 4.784113] ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
[ 5.104153] ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
[ 5.104279] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD2500BEVT-7 11.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 5.104379] scsi 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
[ 5.105477] scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7640S HD14 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 5.105548] scsi 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5
[...]
[ 5.717378] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 488397168 512-byte hardware sectors (250059 MB)
[ 5.717392] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
[ 5.717394] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
[ 5.717416] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
Now this may occur because we have sg in the initrd and just because it
is loaded. Perhaps if we boot without it then things continue without
forcing a load.
