Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I have an Asus motherboard with an embedded
Promise 20378 controller. I want to plug/unplug a SATA drive when the
system is up. The drive is a data drive, I don't want to use RAID
capabilities of my Promise controller.

Can someone have any experience doing this? Do you have info about SATA
drives and hotplug capabilities on FreeBSD 5.X ?

Thank you very much for your help,
Fred
