[Bug 421246] New: Add ablility so that esata drives have the same capabilites as usb drives
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421246 Summary: Add ablility so that esata drives have the same capabilites as usb drives Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Hotplug AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clarkt@cnsp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User When you plug in an esata drive, it does not show up on the desktop (kde4 recent device) like a usb drive. You have to be root to mount/dismount the drive and there is no "eject" function to power down the drive for removal. This would make it easier for users to work with esata drives and reduce the potential for data loss or corruption. -- 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.

Danny and Scott, the posted patch is against HEAD. Can you please test whether it works? If it does, I'll commit it to HEAD. Thanks.
I've tested it with two different eSATA express cards and in both cases it prints 'sata' and not sata_ext. Not sure if the hardware is the reason or if there is a problem with the patch. Btw. for me I had to change the command to: $ (cd -P /sys/block/sda/device/../..; cat scsi_host/host*/port_type) -- 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.

I am getting the hardware today to test the eSATA capabilities. How best do I go about getting a kernel build/patch to test against here in Provo? Should I try the debug patch that was most recently posted?
Yes.
What base kernel should I use?
HEAD KOTD. I can build a package for you if necessary. -- 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.

@Tejun: any news on this? Is it a bug in the patch or a problem with the card/slot that it isn't marked as external. -- 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.
