I'd say the most common definition is the ability to swap-out a failed disk whilst power is connected to the system, and the OS remains up - sometimes informing the controller, sometimes not..This link seems to indicate "hot swap" means telling the machine you're going to remove the device, and then removing the device. To me, that's not really hot swapping; I would prefer to be able to just yank to drive and let the OS figure it out itself.
What is the common industry definition of hot swapping?
I think one has to add to that:
"While allowing the filesystem to remain available to the OS and applications, and without the loss or corruption of data, preferably without the requirement for manual intervention by a user or administrator."
