IDE warm-plug HOWTO | |
=================== | |
To warm-plug devices on a port 'idex': | |
# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/delete_devices | |
unplug old device(s) and plug new device(s) | |
# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/scan | |
done | |
NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are | |
no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step, | |
also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise | |
results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky |
