Hi, I recently found myself in a situation where I had to recover some data from a SATA disk with broken sata connector. In the end I had to reboot quite often to get the sata hardware/driver to retry to reconnect a link when I fixed the connector in a slightly different angle. On the first connect the hardware detected it by itself, but the problem was that once it lost the link the ata interface was disabled and only a reset could fix that, I think(?) So I was wondering is there a way to reenable a link that has been disabled to try again? I presume a module reload would do it, but that's not practical when your root fs is on another SATA port. Should something like this be implemented?
