Howdy,
I have a few questions.
Admittedly, I mostly scan this list looking for people having problems with
BACKPACK drives, so if this has been discussed recently, please forgive.
(looked through the archives a bit, but never found a search for it, and
there's a lot of messages :O )
With regards to the PARIDE system. I was wondering if there was any
discussion of working with the new hotplug stuff out there (I think it was
initially meant for the usb-system, but other sub-systems have wanted to get
in on it. Need to look into details...).
If nothing else, I find that a lot of users that e-mail us have compiled the
paride stuff into the kernel. Now, my understanding is that at this point,
the only time the drives would be probed is at boot time. It'd be nice, if
there was a way to get the drives to re-probe. (also this would let them
insert the modules just once and then use another means to re-probe for the
drive.)
Just some thoughts I'd had. Unfortunately I'm kept kinda busy to take a
stab at it. Perhaps I could do some on my own time, but I just wanted to see
if this is a worthwhile (non-duplicate) idea.
Thanks,
Ken Hahn
