I am not convinced it would be worth writing the code to give the status for
only one device. In any case, I probably wouldn't refuse a patch, but it is
unlikely to be me that writes the code (other higher priorities).

Yes, it isn't very logical. This bothers me a bit. However, what bothers me
even more is if you just say "status storage" you will get a list of all the
devices in the SD -- that's when the inconsistency becomes the most flagrant,
to me at least.

Unfortunately , the Director has no concept of what spanky-sd is.

Yes, a lot better, but the "inconsistencies" you mention above are not *yet*
resolved ...
