Hotplug and libata don't play nicely together, yet. I am working on this, and I expect others are doing stuff too. Doing anything actually useful is fairly intrusive to the structure and flow of the existing code. Another problem you'd hit is the SCSI layer trying to sync a recently departed drive :) I don't have a timetable for my work. There are still two things that have got pushed on the stack ahead of hotplug. Neither of these is anywhere near as large or complex as hotplug, thankfully. -- andyw@pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634
