Hi there! I have a SCSI system with hot-swap SCSI backplane. I'm using Linux software RAID (mirror). One disk has gone bad and it was kicked out of RAID. I also managed to get the disk out of SCSI using: # echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 1 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi So basically the operating system has no idea the disk is still there. But here is what troubles me: most HW RAID controllers change the status of the disk on the backplane to let you know it can be safely removed. Usually this is visible by a yellow LED or something like that. Is there a utility to do that without HW RAID controller? Or is the disk hot-swappable no matter what (as I have already managed to remove it from RAID and SCSI subsystem)? Thanks, D. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
