Specifically, Sun Microsystems sells servers with such chip and describes it's ability as "hotplug". Linux documentation describes controller as "hotswap". Sun uses "hotswap" when disk could be put in AND took out without powering machine down (like SAS drives in SunFire x4100/4200). Term "hotplug" is used when when disk can be put in, but NOT took out. So is disability to remove disk limitation of controller chip or only deficency of Solaris driver? Thanks for your answer, --=20 Tomasz Torcz Only gods can safely risk perfection, zdzichu@irc.-nie.spam-.pl it's a dangerous thing for a man. -- Alia --/9DWx/yDrRhgMJTb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: gpg --search-keys Tomasz Torcz iD8DBQFFR1bo10UJr+75NrkRAnjrAJ0UPHFk9k52Jkmft/oMypTjblLciACfc5dF HBobE80YoohPOHHqv81oquY= =fvT7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/9DWx/yDrRhgMJTb--
