=== lt_hotswap ===<br />
The <tt>lt_hotswap</tt> kernel module enables hot-swapping of UltraBay disk drives under Linux, with DMA support.<br />
|}<br />
===Features===<br />
*enable hotswapping of [[UltraBay]] drives<br />
*automatic IDE unregistering on [[ibm-acpi]] eject event<br />
*leaves DMA support intact<br />
<br />
===Limitations===<br />
* Requires [[ibm-acpi]] to be running (does not work with [[APM]]).<br />
* Works only in conjunction with the <tt>ide-disk</tt> driver (recent ThinkPad models use <tt>ata_piix</tt> instead). <br />
<br />
===Project Homepage / Availability===<br />
*Project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/lths<br />
*Latest version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lths/lt_hotswap-0.3.6.tar.gz?download<br />
<br />
Development and discussion of lt_hotswap is currently being held in <br />
[[Mailinglists#Linux-ThinkPad Mailinglist|Linux-ThinkPad Mailinglist]].<br />
<br />
===Installation===<br />
In order to use the driver you must use ACPI and also have the [[ibm-acpi]] driver linked to your kernel (module or compiled). <br />
<br />
When loading the hotswap module, you can use the module parameter: {{bootparm|auto_eject|1}} to automatically unregister the drives IDE interface. This will happen upon popping out the [[UltraBay]] lever.<br />
<br />
===Supported models===<br />
The driver has been explicitly reported to work on the following models. It should work on many others as well:<br />
*ThinkPad {{A31p}} (warmswap), {{T30}}, {{T22}}, {{T23}}, {{T40}}, {{T42}}<br />
<br />
<tt>lt_hotswap</tt> does '''not''' work well on models that require the <tt>ata_piix</tt> driver rather than the generic <tt>ide-disk</tt> IDE driver. See [[problems with SATA and Linux]] for a list, and [[How to hotswap UltraBay devices]] for an alternative solution on these models.<br />
