You have been subscribed to a public bug: This is a request to add the following upstream commit to both Ubuntu 16.04.1 and 16.04.2:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/scsi/ses.c?id=9373eba6cfae48911b977d14323032cd5d161aae Without this patch, the symlink in sysfs which binds a SAS device to an enclosure slot does not get created. This makes disk hotplug near impossible on large JBOD disk drawers. You should be able to do: ls /sys/block/sdb/device/ | grep enclosure and see something like: enclosure_device:1 If you cd to this directory, you can then access the SES controls for that slot to flash the LED to assist in locating the disk to replace a failed disk. Currently with 16.04.1 and 16.04.2, these symlinks are not getting created. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ubuntu on IBM Power Systems Bug Triage (ubuntu-power-triage) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-155011 severity-critical targetmilestone-inin16041 -- 5U84 - ses driver isn't binding right - cannot blink lights on 1 of the 2 5u84 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
