#5 Dynamic SCSI bus rescan

[Anonymous]

For Linux to be more acceptable as an enterprise level
OS, it needs to provide features at par with other
UNIX-flavored OSes out there.

I would really like to see a command that would cause a
dynamic scasi bus rescan to get new devices or get rid
of old (removed) ones in it's device tree. eg. Solaris
had drvconfig, Irix has scsiha -p, etc etc.

I think this is one feature most people out there need
in the Linux sub-system.

Thanks,
Rajat Gupta

Curious what this would do over existing code like Kurt
Garloff's scsi-rescan? (see
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ )
There are also scsiadd and scsitools Debian packages which
do quite a bit, but I'm new to the Linux hotadd/remove SCSI
world, so maybe I'm missing something?

presumably this is going to be addressed in the
kernel 2.5 rewrite/update of SCSI ... it's not
a hotplug issue, so far as I can tell, so I'm
closing this bug.
