AHCI reenumeration  
Hello.

Still trying to solve the way how to safely store data in a control system.

I would like to use disk in "removable caddy" to get copy of the data from a control system. I would prefer sata 
connection to usb (various reasons). 

Is there any way after inserting the disk to tell the system that it should rescan SATA ports for new disk?

Thanks, PKY
RE: AHCI reenumeration  
If it's a SATA to usb, the host only understand mass storage usb protocol, it will up to the converter to do the rescan 
internally.

Re: RE: AHCI reenumeration  
Sorry for my unclear definition of my problem.

I would like to connect the sata disk directly to sata port of the CPU board. I don't want to use USB as a means of 
connection.

In QNX4 the Fsys.ahci has some options like nports and pi. I haven't seen this options in devb-ahci. 
Would it be possible to start two instances of Fsys.ahci (or devb-ahci), where those two instances would have different 
non overlapping bitmap masks?

Thanks, PKY
