I've just installed a sata hard drive bay for a second drive, the kind that has
a little front door so you can slip the drive in and out.
The point of installing it was to make it easy to change drives when doing
backups, but I had assumed that I would have to shut down before taking the
drive in or out.
When I unmount it, Gnome announces that I can now remove the media, which
surprised me a bit. Should I assume that this means I can safely hot swap this
drive as long as it's unmounted? The nice man in the shop assured me that I
needed all sorts of mobo magic to be able to do that, but of course he was
talking Windows. I would hate to splat 500G of backup.
Thanks,
David.
