I would think that if you're using a 3ware controller in JBOD and as stated are in AHCI mode that as long as the OS umounts the drive that you should be able to hot-swap. However, checking with 3ware is probably the best option :) Henrik -- Henrik Hudson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
