Question:

My server has U160 Hot Plug SCA drives.

Is it possible to "hot plug" another drive and use it as a removable backup
device.
How do you get FreeBSD to recognize the drive without a hard reboot?


To me this would be reasonable way to backup data quickly and reliably.

I can buy three IBM 18GB 10k-U160 SCA drives with carriers for the same
price of a DDS4 20/40GB DAT drive.

	- Scott
