Hello, I have a server Supermicro 5015B-MT with ICH9R chipset, disk SATAII and Centos 5.2 I have read that the AHCI module allows hotplug but when I add a hot new SATA disk, the system don''t detects it . Any idea of what the problem is? Thanks. Julio Rodan?s Martinez SISTEMAS DE COMUNICACI?N [cid:imageade14b.gif at 77028d6e.2a90465b] [cid:imageb22abd.gif at 9a51a423.4620438d] Avda.

Yes, AHCI is configured en BIOS.

Is your sata controller configured as ahci in bios ?
You can check lsmod output to see which modules are loaded.

To do that, first you have to identify which SCSI host it will be your SATA controller, you can see a list of the ones you have with this command: ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ To identify which one is your SATA, look in /proc/scsi/scsi, for instance, if it''s scsi4 there, it will be host4 in /sys. You can also look at dmesg or /var/log/dmesg and see the messages of when your other disks were detected, it will show it with names as scsiX or sd X:0:0:0. Also grep for ahci in dmesg, it might give you a clue. You might have multiple hosts in one AHCI controller, you might have to figure out which one your disk is connected, or scan all of them. Once you found which host it is, issue the following command as root: echo - - - >/sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan I wrote "hostX" above, but you have to use the proper number, like "host4" if your SATA is scsi4. This should work. Let us know how that goes. HTH, Filipe

Doing a google search on ``ahci linux'''' had this at the top of the list. Is this the best place to look for hardware compatibility? http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html According to this there are no Adaptec SATA devices with ahci capabilities. I am interested because we have a box with a Supermicro X5DPL-TGM main board with on-board Adaptec AIC-8120 that I would like to be able to hot-swap.
