I have systems with Supermicro X6-class (Nocona/Lindenhurst) motherboards with Adaptec SCSI and SAFTE backplanes running software RAID-1 (md) on a pair of drives. When I hot-insert a drive, I get a lot of noise from the kernel apparently due to lack of handling something in the interrupt routine. So far, life seems to go on after the event, but not knowing anything about the internals of the driver, I am concerned enough to want to ask about it.

The kernel messages are below, with my added comments starting with -----:

Is there something here to worry about? I can live with the noise for now at least.
