Which actually is true. ATA ports failing to reset indicate something is very wrong. Either the attached device or the controller is broken and libata shuts down the port to protect the rest of the system from it. The manual scan requests tell libata to give it one more shot and polling hotplug can do that automatically. Anyways, this shouldn't happen unless you have a broken piece of hardware. > Would it reallty be an impediment to development if the kernel > maintainers simply refuse to merge patches that add new sysfs entries > without corresponding documentation? SCSI host scan nodes have been there for a long time. I think it's documented somewhere. -- tejun - 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
