It depends on the hardware type. If the upstream kernel provides it, it
will.

So it seems so but you'll have to check your hardware with whatever kernel
11.0 is using at the time. Or, stating this in a different way..does
kernel-default-2.6.25.5-1.1.i586.rpm support e-SATA hotpugging ? And does
it support your exact hardware ?
From an Ubuntu forum I see this question:
Re: Hotplug eSata support?
NVM. Got it.
Making sure AHCI was active (which I always have active, but I'm commenting
it so you check) in bios, then booting with an eSATA drive attached and
running.
I mounted that drive, and then shut down my computer.
Now, I boot my computer without the eSATA drive attached, and from now on
the unit works perfectly... plug and play, just like it was a USB drive.
Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Using a Thermaltake BlackX along eSATA.
Cheers,
Robbie
So, since that was posted May 22, it seems that the more recent kernels do
support this.
In short my guess, based on Greg's response today (quoted above) and the
kernel available in 11.0 and that Ubuntu forum post..
It should work !!!
P.S. It's all hearsay, rumors and supposition unless, of course, it works..
So give it a try and let us know. For now I've done some research for you
and it may work and probably does.
