Hi I'm trying to find out about the safety of hot-swappable sata devices when not using a raid configuration. What I'd like is to be able to remove a hot-swap drive while the system's powered up. The drive has its own sata channel, so I issue the following commands: umount /dev/ad2s1d - to dismount the drive atacontrol detach 1 - to stop all further ata commands going to the device This appears to work just fine, but I'd like a second opinion. Any thoughts? j. Redwire Design Limited Studio 12 37 Tanner Street London SE1 3LF [ www.redwiredesign.com ] [ 020 7403 1444 ] - voice [ 020 7378 8711 ] - fax
