Kernel-level or userspace? IBM certainly used to sell bay-mounted hard drives, and while it's possible for a user to pull one out while the machine is suspended, I suspect that the general use case is probably for it to carry on being used. Possibly what's needed is something like Apple's nullfs - force unmount the drive on suspend, and put a nullfs there instead. On resume, if the drive is still there, remount it. If not, userspace applications get upset about the missing drive but no data is lost. The downside to this approach would be trying to figure out how to get the drive remounted before the rest of userspace starts trying to scribble over it again... -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
