I briefly looked into it at the problem is, ide-cs must interface with two subsystems - IDE and SCSI. While I know how to do it for IDE subsystem (I even suspect it is already handled correctly) I am at lost how to initiate rescan for SCSI subsystem. Note that you actually need possibly to rescan for both HA and devices on this HA. And it is not a hot plug case (that is more or less clear) because you do not know target ID/LUN in advance. Actually, ide-scsi driver is missing hot plug routines as well, but they do not seem to be used in current code anyway. I.e. it is not trivial task; it requires some kernel code rewrite and device to test code on. I would do it if I had any PCMCIA card and drive. Sorry :( -andrej
