Auto rescan is supposed to happen now for many drivers.
To check your hardware's support, see http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#matrix (this is actually 6-9 months old)
According to that matrix, auto rescan should work with the ICH7 on my mobo but fact is it doesn't with the eSATA drive I used for testing.
And to manually rescan:
echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan
Remember, sata drives are handled by the scsi subystem, so you're actually invoking a scsi rescan.
I know that, I jsut forgot to mention the actual command. Thanks for providing that! Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
