I'm using SATA drives for LVM on RAID 1. RAID is configured with internal bitmap, so resyncing is quite fast.
In order to do the best kind of backup, I replace my drives to keep backups of complete systems. There is a very good reason for this, since in the case of a complete desaster I simply take the last backup disk and use it in a working hardware. So, sometimes it would be quite useful, to also use some USB external storage to connect a hard drive. But, because of this error, the whole procedure is not possible. I know it works with eSATA, but this error claims always with USB connected drives. Using rsync is not as simple as using a hotplug script that initiates raid resync. I don't know, how it behaves with USB3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320638 Title: hot-add/remove in mixed (IDE/SATA/USB/SD-card/...)
