Should it be possible to hot-swap SATA drives with Centos5? It doesn't

Depends on the SATA controller, but yes. If the controller allows, you
can hotswap sata drives.
How are the names supposed to work when one may be missing at bootup and
added later?
I thought the system would just assign the next available /dev/sdx?
Then there was the post about wanting to be able to pull a SATA/eSATA
disk in and have the system automatically mount whatever filesystem is
on the disk...
On OpenSolaris, SATA hotswapping and device naming is a complete non-issue.
