People,
I have this motherboard:
http://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/Z97AUSB_31
I boot Fedora 24 x86_64 from a single SATA Linux drive in one of four
hot-swap bays but I occasionally want to look at old backup drives
without shutting down the computer, inserting or extracting the drive
and starting up the computer again. It appears I should enable the AHCI
option for RAID functionality (even if I only have a single boot drive
installed) and then that will allow hot swapping. My concern is the
warning message I get about turning on AHCI when I start to make the
change in BIOS - about the possibility of destroying my boot disk! -
does anyone know about this stuff?
dmesg | grep ahci
gives this:
[ 0.343128] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: version 3.0
[ 0.343211] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 6 ports 6 Gbps
0x1 impl SATA mode
[ 0.343228] ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq led clo pio slum part
ems apst
[ 0.343606] scsi host0: ahci
[ 0.343703] scsi host1: ahci
[ 0.344391] scsi host2: ahci
[ 0.345073] scsi host3: ahci
[ 0.345752] scsi host4: ahci
[ 0.346433] scsi host5: ahci
so the drivers are already being loaded without the BIOS being
configured for AHCI? From a lot of Googling, it appears that most
people are turning on AHCI for a RAID setup - but that doesn't apply to
me . .
Thanks,
Phil.
