Hi all!
I was testing an apparently dead drive on my laptop's (T510) e-sata port.
However, it somehow manages to get the port stalled, and trying
'echo "- - -" scan' hangs as well.
I could accept that maybe the controller becomes so confused that a reboot is
needed to get the port working again, but I'd really think it should be
possible to at least fail gracefully in that case (timeout or something). Or
am I wrong, and there is simply nothing that could be done? :)
Note that I'm going to return this drive very soon (probably Monday), so I
unfortunately won't be able to test any patches after that.
This is on a 2.6.35.1 system.

Now I connect another (apparently dead) drive to ata6.
The drive is not recognized:

=====================
I disconnect the drive for a few moments, but nothing is output by kernel.
I reconnect it again, but again, nothing is output by the kernel.
I run: echo "- - -" >
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host5/scsi_host/host5/scan
However, it appeared stuck and still no messages in the kernel log, so
I disconnected the device again. Still nothing is output, and the
following messages started to be output, indicating that the process
had become stuck:
