All my 2650's are SCSI based, without the raid key. They hot swap fine _IF_ the system detects the drive as dead, and _IF_ you know how to poke the right info into /proc or have faith in one of the programs to make the kernel see a new drive after insertion. In other words, without the raid, they are physically hot-swapable, but the OS needs help to know about the swap. With the raid card, they are both physically hot-swapable and the OS needs no help. -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns! _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
