====== Disconnect/Eject SATA devices in Linux ======

===== Disconnect =====
  - Identify the device <code>root@misaka:~# lsblk -S /dev/sdd
NAME HCTL       TYPE VENDOR   MODEL             REV TRAN
sdd  3:0:0:0    disk ATA      TOSHIBA MD04ABA4 FP1T sata</code>
  - Do the magic <code>root@misaka:~# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdd/device/delete
[45625.431882] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdd] Synchronizing SCSI cache
[45625.437707] sd 3:0:0:0: [sdd] Stopping disk
[45626.375309] ata4.00: disabled</code>
  - Done <code>root@misaka:~# lsblk -S /dev/sdd
lsblk: /dev/sdd: not a block device</code>

===== Reconnect =====
  - Locate the device bus <code>root@misaka:~# grep . /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/proc_name
/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host1/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host2/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host3/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host4/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host5/proc_name:ahci
/sys/class/scsi_host/host6/proc_name:mptsas</code>
  - Do the magic <code>root@misaka:~# tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host3/scan <<<'- - -' >/dev/null
