[ltp] hotplugging IDE-devices

[David Tansey]

here are my dock/undock scripts. you have to use idectl, which is
usually included with hdparm.

dock.sh:
#!/bin/bash

status=`/usr/bin/awk '/^present:/ { print $2 }' /proc/acpi/ibm/dock`

if [ "$status" == "yes" ]; then
        /bin/sync
        /bin/echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
        /usr/local/sbin/idectl 1 rescan
fi

undock.sh:
#!/bin/bash

status=`/usr/bin/awk '/^present:/ { print $2 }' /proc/acpi/ibm/dock`

if [ "$status" == "yes" ]; then
        /bin/sync
        /usr/local/sbin/idectl 1 off
        if [ -L /proc/ide/hdc ]; then
                exit 1
        fi
        /bin/echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
fi

i tested the line /usr/local/sbin/idectl off/on to make sure that 1 was
the right number. 

do you have your /etc/acpi/events directory set up to detect the right
event? just doing         /bin/echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock doesn't
do it.

events/dock:
event=(ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003|ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080
00001008)
action=/etc/acpi/dock.sh

events/undock:
event=(ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003|ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080
00001008)
action=/etc/acpi/dock.sh


enjoy! i'm loving ibm-acpi!!!
