I'm a little confused about sata_mv hotplug status.
According to http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#marvell, the driver
has "full SATA control including hotplug".
A bit down on that same page, the matrix
http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#matrix says sata_mv - device
hotplug: no.
Which one is true? I guess the first says about drive hotplug, and the
second says about (PCI) device hotplug?
Today, I tried to add a drive to that Marvell SATA controller:
01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 09)
But it wasn't detected at all (no dmesg/kernel sign that the drive was
connected) - I had to reboot the machine to get that drive detected.
This would indicate that sata_mv doesn't support any sort of drive
*plug? Or do I have to take some extra steps to get the drives detected?
I'm running 2.6.21 kernel.
