For 2.4.x? Comments? The patch looks fine per se. However, I thought that the whole spirit of hotplug was that this type of problem should be solved in user space to which SCSI currently exposes a perfectly adequate interface. Needing kernel hooks in a different subsystem to solve a hotplug problem looks slightly wrong to me. Usually when this type of thing comes up its because we're missing a hotplug event (or a hotplug event doesn't carry the right information). Could you elaborate more on the actual problem you're trying to solve? James
