hi,

i am using the following command for hotplug (warmplug):

echo 0 - 0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host5/scan

and after umount before turning off the device:

echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/5\:0\:0\:0/device/delete

i think that the "hot plug polling" patch is needed for automatic
detection of new devices, but i am only a user, not a developer ;)

cheers,
ds
