Today I was replacing disk in one Sun Fire X2100 M2 so I tried
hot-swapping. It was as you said: atacontrol detach ata3, replace the
HDD, atacontrol attach ata3 and new disk is in the system. I tried it 3
times to be sure that it was not coincidence - no panic was produced ;o)
So in this case, hot-swapping on Sun Fire X2100 M2 with FreeBSD 7.0 i386
works.
That's excellent news. So it seems possibly the problem I was seeing
was with "reinit" causing some sort of chaos. I'll have to check things
on my testbox here at home to see how I caused the panic last time.
Thanks for providing feedback, as usual! :-)
Unfortunately there is one problem - I see a lot of interrupts after
disk swapping (about 193k of atapci1)
Interrupts
197k total
ohci0 21

Full output of systat -vm 2 is attached.
It is shown in top as 50% interrupt (CPU state) and load 1 until I
rebooted the machine (I can provide MRTG graphs). The system was not in
production load, but almost idle. (I will put it in production tomorrow).
After reboot, everything is OK.
Can somebody test hot-swapping with SATA drives and confirm this
behavior? (I can't test it now, because machine is in datacenter)
