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.
