I seem to recall seeing mention flow by on the lkml at some point that
sata disks are now scanned in the background rather than blocking in the
modprobe, but that there is a new dummy module you can load that just
blocks until all drives have been scanned. I tried but was unable to
find the thread that mentioned this, so does anyone know what that
module was?
Scanning during boot and module loading is blocking. modprobe will wait
in the kernel until the initial scan is complete. But user initiated
scan (echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan) doesn't wait for
completion. Patch to make user scan blocking is pending.
