If your hardware supports PATA hotplug (most doesn't) then you can tell the kernel to remove the device, pull it, add a new one and tell the kernel to rescan (exactly as you do with any other scsi device). Autodetect support right now is only in the SATA side and afaik no PATA controller supports PATA hot plug autodetect. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
