Hi Jeff, I am having a nasty problem with hot swapping a removable (not eSATA) drive I use for backup on several servers. It is reported over on http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3391 Trying to help me find a work around to the problem at http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=18608&start=0#forumpost68783 Alan posted your ata_piix.c code at http://centos.toracat.org/ajb/tmp/toddandmargo/ata_piix.c He pointed out 1483 /* no hotplugging support (FIXME) */ 1484 if (!in_module_init) 1485 return -ENODEV; What do you mean by the comment in line 1483? Is there some know issue with hot swapping SATA drives?
