Hello, I am testing the (work-in-progress / upcoming) libata SATA hotplug and here is my report and a question about intended behaviour. Using mainstream 2.6.17.11 kernel patched with libata-tj-2.6.17.4-20060710.tar.bz2 from http://home-tj.org/files/libata-tj-stable/. Supermicro P8SCT motherboard with Intel ICH6R, using AHCI libata driver. In short, I use ext3 over a md RAID-5 /dev/md0 over 4 SATA drives /dev/sd[a-d] each driven by libata ahci. I unplug, then replug the drive that is rebuilding in RAID-5. When I unplug that drive, /dev/sda is removed, hotplug seems to work to the point where proc/mdstat shows the drive failed, but not removed. Replugging shows the drive re-appearing as /dev/sde It seems hot unplug does not remove a drive from an md array. Is this intentional? -- Leon p.s.
