sata_sil and hotswap

Hi,

I have a Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology Inc) SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller and want to use hotswap on it.

Disks are visible in /proc/scsi/sci :

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2500JD-40G Rev: 09.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2500JD-40G Rev: 09.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2500JD-40G Rev: 09.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2500JD-40G Rev: 09.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05

I'm trying to use the following command:

echo "scsi remove-single-device 2 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

before removing the rack and change it by another with a maxtor drive.

When I'm launching :

echo "scsi add-single-device 2 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

I always have :

Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2500JD-40G Rev: 09.0
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05

in /proc/scsi/scsi intead of :

"Model: MAXTOR..."

What's wrong ? Is hotswap supported on Linux for this controller ?

Thank you,

GaLi
