I've got a new laptop with an eSATA port and a new (unformatted) eSATA

Is eSATA hot plug compatible with a stock F8 kernel ?

Good question, and I don't know but I wonder if helping it find it might
work.
Figure out what host# that interface is on, then issue this:

#echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host{n}/scan

Run an #fdisk -l after, I wonder if it appears then?


I think the problem is deeper than if the kernel supports ESATA hotplug.
Even if I have the drive plugged in when I boot, hwbrowser hangs until I
shut the drive off. Something is wrong with situation. I'll do some
groundwork and report back.
