Not exactly, IMO. Hotplug responds to plugging something in, and to pulling it out. Equivalent of a VM attach/detach. What we want is to have the tape drives attached pretty-much all the time to lots of machines, Someone wanting a tape drive runs a command, maybe mt, to say so. They do not use VM's attach - indeed, they may not have a VM account with which to do so. -- Cheers John.
