I've got a relatively new system that doesn't seem to be able to hotplug SATA disks. I see the same behavior on 3.10, 3.11-rc2, and Ubuntu's 3.8.0-25-generic. The disks are detected right away on reboots, but even after poking the /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/scan files, new disks are never detected. I've disabled link power management. Am I doing something stupid here? I thought this "just worked" on my previous hardware. The motherboard is an Intel DH87RL.
