I have two F11 machines that hotplug eSATA OK
In the back of my mind I seem to remember you have to set the BIOS to
SATA mode AHCI
I also hack PolicyKit so normal user can mount "fixed" disks
nedit /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf so ja can mount disks OR Use
Xfce/Settings/Authorisations
<config
version="0.1">
<match
action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return
result="yes"/>
</match>
</config>
I use pcmanfm as file manager when I'm playing with eSATA
as all disks (USB and eSATA) are shown and can be mounted/unmounted
Neither dolphin or thunar get it quite right yet
