1) raidhotadd, raidhotremove
2) The hot-plug/hot-unplug capabilities of your
- drive
- controller
- device driver for controller
- kernel
Would seem to be questionable too. I have not to zero IDE knowledge,
but I'd venture a guess that it's not designed for this kind of
action. Surviving the pull gives some confidence in controller and
driver, but best-case you'll most likely have to use some /proc
interface to get it to re-scan that channel and notice the drive is
back (could be wrong, would love to find out :) Once the controller
driver and kernel see the disk back, raidhot{remove,add} should work.

Definitely. I have no idea of the connection, but it's worrisome for sure.
