It is not just nash. Also multipathd would fail (as it expects 
the /sys/scsi_host/..<something> in certain directories), and 'lsscsi'. There 
might be other tools that depend on libsysfs to be affected by this as well.

Oh, and I think 'udev' might have some trouble too - but not 100% certain 
about that.
