It's not a lame question. It's a good one. Yes-= for SIMs that can call xpt_rescan. That would be isp && mpt. It would apply, btw, also for MPT/SAS. We already have an 'adequate' mechanism for noticing that a drive has gone away. The AC_FOUND_DEVICE doesn't work like you'd expect. It's possible that this just needs to be fixed (to use xpt_rescan :-)). -matt
