All SATA drives and most of the newer contollers are hotplug-capable at
the hardware level, but libata core does not yet support hotswap of SATA
drives at the driver level. (See
http://linux-ata.org/software-status.html#hotplug). It might be
possible, though, with some controllers that have their own SCSI
emulation driver, since they don't use libata.

Barry!
I'm very interested because this can hopefully work for SATA drives in
hotswap trays too!
I'll be using a four drive external enclosure attached to a multilane
SATA card. My hope is to be able to swap out drives for offsite storage.
Please let it work... Please let it work... Please let it work...

I'm using FC4 PPC on a Blue/White G3
Do tell!
Thanks,

Questions for you... what operating system are you using? I'm
using
Fedora Core 4 Linux, and I figured out how to get hald to recognize the
specific USB disk being powered on, and create the directory and
mount the
USB disk to that pathlist. I can unmount the USB disk, and turn them
off,
and hald removes the directory.
Would you be interested in the same, or a similar approach?
Barry
