From e935d5da8e5d12fabe5b632736c50eae0427e8c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Moore, Eric" Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 09:18:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] drivers/base/bus.c - export reprobe Adding support for exposing hidden raid components for sg interface. The sdev->no_uld_attach flag will set set accordingly. The sas module supports adding/removing raid volumes using online storage management application interface.
