Recently I tried to hot-attach a SATA drive to a running system. Controller is ICH9 in AHCI mode. Physically/electronically everything went smoothly, the drive spun-up. Then I tried to detach and re-attach all channels with no devices on them using atacontrol. I did it 3 times to be sure, but no new disk showed up. Then I finally rebooted, the disk showed up OK.
Question: was hot-attach expected to work? Is there a limitation in hardware or in our driver? Note: I attached the drive to a regular SATA port, not eSATA. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
