Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] Add disk hotswap support to libata RESEND #5
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:20:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1127949651.26686.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <433AEAAE.2070003@pobox.com>

For PATA the requirements I'm aware of are

-	Interface for user to say "am about to swap"
-	Interface for user to say "have swapped"
-	Must quiesce both master and slave before swap (or one per cable)
-	Must reset to PIO_SLOW and then recompute modes for both devices
becuse it is possible that changing one changes the other timings
-	The above is true for *unplug* too. A straight unplug may speed up the
other drive!
-	Post hotswap need to reconfigure both drives as if from scratch
