According to http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#marvell, the driver has "full SATA control including hotplug". A bit down on that same page, the matrix http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#matrix says sata_mv - device hotplug: no. Which one is true? I guess the first says about drive hotplug, and the second says about (PCI) device hotplug? Today, I tried to add a drive to that Marvell SATA controller: 01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV88SX6081 8-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 09) But it wasn't detected at all (no dmesg/kernel sign that the drive was connected) - I had to reboot the machine to get that drive detected. This would indicate that sata_mv doesn't support any sort of drive *plug? Or do I have to take some extra steps to get the drives detected? I'm running 2.6.21 kernel. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
