[Mageia-discuss] Mageia 2 esata hotplug

Tue Jan 29 13:14:08 CET 2013

Hello,
+
+I installed mageia 2 x86_64 on a dell latitude e6530.
+When I plug a drive in the esata port, it isn't recognized automatically.
+I have to force a rescan of the scsi bus to see the disk, i.e.
+
+echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/scan
+
+On my old laptop (hp elitebook 8530w), running mageia 2 (but the 32 bits
+version), the disk is automatically recognized as soon as I plug it in
+(though it doesn't show in kde device notifier, but is shows in dolphin).
+
+Both use the same kernel (albeit one 64 bits, the other 32 bits),
+3.4.24-desktop-3.mga2.
+The sata controller is different, though it seems to me it's a different
+variant of the same model (the only big difference is that on the dell
+it's setup in raid mode):

+What could I try to autodetect the drive plugged into the esata port?
