Hello there,

has the issue of making the SCSI disk driver able to support hot-swapping
of disks been discussed already?

What I'd like to be able to do is:

Configure the SCSI disk driver so that it creates sd devices upon boot for
any SCSI ID's I specify (i.e. 'device sd0 at scbus2 target 0 unit 0 flags
0xwhatever).

The sd driver seems to be prepared for this, but the necessary changes to
scsiconf.c do not seem to be there.  We'd also need a set of utilities to
make the kernel reprobe a given SCSI device.

Is anyone reading this already working in that direction?  Or is there an
alternative sd driver with more features available?  We'd even consider
commercial alternatives, provided that source code is also available.

Thanks,
Hans
