Philip Rhoades: > Not sure what you mean - I can set "Hot Swappable" in the BIOS. For something to be hotswappable, everything has to support it (the host port, the drive, any devices the drive is inside, and your software). While you may be able to set a flag saying a port is hot swappable, it's more like you do the opposite: When you set it as not hot swappable, you're flagging it so other things don't attempt it. And, perhaps, you turn off a feature in the firmware. It's a bit like hanging a "wet paint" sign. It's an instruction that may, or may not, have the effect you want. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.76.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 10 16:21:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
