Liviu, we've got support for event handling in libdevmapper (e.g. to support hotswapping of devices) but supporting that in dmraid is still to be done.

This allowed us regularly to hotswap one of the drives for offsite storage purposes. When the devices where synchronized the tray leds where green, after the hotswap the leds became amber for 1 minute and finally they started to blink green when the array was synchronized with the new drive. > > Seeing dmraid support we switched to the much more new 2.6 linux kernel. The array seems fine except the leds are amber all the time. Also hotswap of one of the drives just blocks the system. We have tried unmounting and using hdparm -b but an error saying operation is not permitted appears. > > Thank you for your help > > _______________________________________________ > > Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Heinz Mauelshagen Red Hat GmbH Consulting Development Engineer Am Sonnenhang 11 Storage Development 56242 Marienrachdorf Germany Mauelshagen@xxxxxxxxxx PHONE +49 171 7803392 FAX +49 2626 924446 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
