Hi, What I've understand from the software-Raid Howto about hot-plugging ide drives is that rescan of the ide bus is done with hdparm, but what misses till now(the date of writing is 2004-06-03) was the rescanning of partitions ... you should investigate in this direction ... The only working solution given work with 2.2.x kernels where you could compile ide support as modules : that way you had to unload then reload the module and it worked. Anyway, I don't know how it can work if both of your drives (system and extra) are ide : how to load a module from a device you have just unloaded the driver ??? May the force be with you ...
