I played around with RAID1 removeable sata drives on a 2.6.9 kernel recently (RH Enterprise clone) and basically found that hot-swap killed the system but warm-swap (remove the disk from all md devices, then pull it out) worked most of the time. But on one occasion the system froze when I plugged the disk back in. What (if any) is the status of warm swap? I don't see it mentioned much but in terms of its usefulness to a systems manager the difference between cold-swap and warm-swap is huge, the difference between warm- swap and hot-swap is tiny. I would MUCH rather have warm-swap now and hot-swap later than both later if that were possible. Thanks for all your work on libata.
