https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337423 Summary: SATA hotplug fails if disk drive not present during boot Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Hotplug AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: peter.nuechter@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer SATA hotplug works if a disk drive is present during boot, i.e., it is inserted in the SATA Mobile Rack connected to SATA adapter 5. This is demonstrated in subsequent test and attached files. Reproducible problem: If the disk drive is not inserted during boot, there never is a hotplug event discernible with lshal -m during operation. This means, that there is no access to the disk drive possible. Intention is to use these external SATA disks for periodical backup and keep them not inside the PC during normal operation. Demonstration of function if and only if disk drive was present during boot: 1) Initial state after boot Initial state after boot with SATA disk present during boot as detected by /proc/scsi/scsi (att. file proc-scsi-scsi_after-boot.txt) and by hwinfo --disk (att. file hwinfo--disk_after-boot.txt) Note: external SATA disks have no file system yet (just to avoid confusion with dmesg.txt) 2) Shutting down and removal of disk Commands for shutting down disk: # sdparm --command=sync /dev/sdb # sdparm --command=unlock /dev/sdb # sdparm --command=stop /dev/sdb disc stops rotation lshal -m about 10sec after removal of disk: Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 19:07:02.303: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic removed 19:07:02.305: storage_serial_SATA_SAMSUNG_HD320KJS0PAJDSP809573 removed 19:07:02.306: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1_scsi_device_lun0 removed 19:07:02.306: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1 removed 3) After Removal View of /proc/scsi/scsi after removal and after hal event (file proc-scsi-scsi_after-unplug.txt) 4) Replug event: Insertion of a different SATA disk: lshal -m output again after about 10 sec delay - please note the different serial number of the disk! 19:09:16.774: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1 added 19:09:16.781: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1_scsi_device_lun0 added 19:09:16.788: pci_8086_2822_scsi_host_1_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic added 19:09:16.824: storage_serial_SATA_SAMSUNG_HD320KJS0PAJDSP809581 added 5) After Re-Plug View of /proc/scsi/scsi after re-plug event and after hal event (file proc-scsi-scsi_after-replug.txt, file hwinfo--disk_after-replug.txt) Additional info: Attached filed uname-a.txt and dmesg.txt <eof> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Btw. the serial can be different, this can depend on your HD, which may report different serials each time. As you can see in hwinfo Serial ID differ with each insert. You should also check if your HD is correct formated due to this message from the kernel: sdb: unknown partition table. If there is no correct p.table HAL can't detect the partitions. I don't understand why do you think there is no hotplug event if you insert the HD after boot. Your lshal -m output from the description show clearly that there was such event. Also your output from proc show that the HD was detected (btw. proc is deprecated). please attach also if the disk is attached output of: grep . /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/* (or whatever the path is, check hwinfo for the correct path) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please note that all the attachments #1 to #5 where created, when there was a disk present during boot. These attachments were provided to demonstrate the correct hotplug mechanism, when a disk was present during boot. In the case, that no disk was present, there is nothing happening, so output from lshal -m is "empty". (Repeated) Note: external SATA disks have no file system yet (just to avoid confusion with dmesg.txt) Different serial numbers: The example was created with two different disks, just to demonstrate that the system (correctly) doesn't care about this. So, we should not be confused with the missing file system or the serial numbers. Your request for additional info: There is no entry in "hwinfo --disk". I remove the "NEEDINFO" status to trigger your response, because I assume I initially did not explain the problem properly.

BTW, looking at dmesg | grep ata | grep -v data >dmesg_ata.txt the attached output shows the message "ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 4 SControl 300)" which relates to another currently unused SATA "connector" (not sure about the correct wording here...). It appears as if the system needs to have something connected to activate it....
