I'd heard this suggested before, but I'd like to hope it wasn't true. I don't see why this wouldn't just result in the controller marking the disk as bad and offlining the physical device, rather than the controller having a fit and offlining the virtual device. In my case the machine was running with a diskless root, so I could forcibly unmount all partitions, unload the mptsas driver, and reload it. It would not reload successfully failing with ioc errors. jh _______________________________________________ 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
