Re: Question about HotPlug and cciss hp storage

Hello Frank,

Fist of all, thank you for your fast answer.

I use Soft Raid... and not Hard. So the disk array present me all the disks without any RAID or control.

So if i want to remove a HDD, i have to set it faulty and logical remove from mdadm before hard remove HDD physically.

And when i want add the new one... my system doesn't detect it... So i need a little voodoo solution to "force" Debian see the HDD :)

If you use the onboard controller there is no need to do some software voodoo. Just replace a faulty drive by a new one. The rebuild starts automatically.

Your device is /dev/cciss/c0d0
