Remove scsi disk from operating system

To tell an OS you are ready to remove a scsi disk, you can run this command:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete

Where sdX is the device you are ready to detach. For virtual machines I don't usually bother doing that, but that is how to safely tell GNU/Linux you are going to remove the device.
