At the same time, other disks not in the soft RAID still support hotplug well; To sum in one word, the slot which has been occupied by a disk in soft RAID cannot support hotplug anymore (before rebooting). I suspect this is a generic scsi-level problem, sometimes it reports scsi_target alloc failed with -EEXIST; Reproducible: always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
