Ah, that's very handy, I know lots of people that have been wanting that for some time. Does this also trigger on the SCSI disk add that I think /sbin/hotplug gets called on in 2.5? > Hotplug wise, I think it is also valuable especially if you hotplug various > storage types.

I think there are some SCSI developers working on this right now. Hm, as you are really only needing a hook into the existing hotplug scripts to run your program, isn't there some generic way of doing this already without needing a patch? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
