Good idea. Since *.1 names look like libraries and man pages,
it would be best to avoid that. Also, this applies to non-SCSI.

We also need a simple old-style name and a volume label,
which could be symlinks to the exact physical name.

This looks good:

/dev/disk/1-1-1-0-2 # exact physical name
/dev/sdb2 -> disk/1-1-1-0-2 # simple name
/dev/volumes/users_a_to_m -> ../disk/1-1-1-0-2 # volume label
