I am using a Silicon Image SATA Add-in PCI card, and also have VIA |
| 21 |
Onboard SATA. Both seem to support SATA HOTSWAP in linux, as long as |
| 22 |
the device is properly freed from things accessing them. Kernel 2.6.18 |
| 23 |
might be the deal clincher, but so might be turning on full APIC |
| 24 |
support, wich for somereason seemed related. |

As far as udev is concered with sata as far as I can tell, SATA drives |
| 27 |
will act just like a USB key :) |
