The generic disk device IDs are:

   SEDISK    DISC 4  2 0128 SCSI_DISC_DM           ...
   HVDDISK   DISC 4  2 0128 SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM ...
   LVDDISK   DISC 4  2 0128 SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM ...
   FCDISK    DISC 4  2 0128 SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM ...
   HPDARRAY  DISC 4  2 0128 SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM ...

NOTE: if you've got an LVD/LW disk that's converted to Single-Ended
SCSI, you must be sure to configure it as an SEDISK (or some other disk
device ID with a manager of SCSI_DISC_DM and *not* SCSI_DISK_AND_ARRAY_DM).
Otherwise, strange and wonderful problems can occur :)
