Spin down/up about disk failure

PhillipHuang · 11-14-2006, 01:57 AM

There's some failures during hotswap disk, I think the reason is that drive would be spun down before physically moving them.

So, I want to spin down the drive when removing it from the kernel, and then spin up when rescanning the driver.

I did not know very deeply about disk hotswap, would anyone give some suggestion on my idea?

Kind regards,

Phillip

I did some testing these two days. Hot-Swap the SATA disk, and my softraid would still be recovery. But for advance, I wonder if remove the module from kernel is a better choice when had to Hot-Swap disks.
