Wouldn't it have been easier to just google for "linux SATA hotplug"? The first link takes you to this page: http://linux-ata.org/sata-status.html Which explains that the AHCI hardware supports hotplug, but not the libata core on which the driver is based. So for now, it seems that SATA hotplug is not possible on your system. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
