Regardless of what the manual says - because I've seen so many times that the manual says some hardware supports some feature (such as "Linux") and then in practice it didn't actually - Unless you have a chassis that's made for hot plugging, and have a sliding caddy with physical latch on the front, and a red blinking light to identify which is the failed disk, and unless you bought a name brand product like Sun or Dell or HP ... I think you can count on *not* supporting hot plugging disks. Some will work as advertised (and I'm sure others here will contradict me unless I say that) but by the large, don't count on it. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
