Is there a safe way short of rebooting to let FreeBSD know that a hot-pluggable drive has been added? I recently added one to a FreeBSD4.7 system. When the connector made contact, a console message that Channel A had just reset popped up so the hardware knew it was there. The system continued to work properly as expected, but it only knew about /dev/da0. As soon as I rebooted, it then knew about both drives. I wanted to add a new drive to a running system and keep the reboots down to a minimum. Thank you.
