Thanks, JohnI 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 John
Thanks for the tip. I'll save it in case hotplug ever works. I think my problem is a bug in the ICH7 chipset Sata controller.
