Hi, all.

Is there such a thing? I know that there are methods to let
you cold-swap disks mounted, but the only hot-swapping I've
heard of are in expensive external SCSI systems.

Thanks

I forgot to mention. All SCA SCSI drives are hot swappable as far as I know.
You can find other SCSI configs that are hot swappable. Don't have to be
expensive and not external either.

Out of curiosity, what's an SCA type of SCSI drive?

I was probably a bit unclear.

SCA = Single Connector Attachment
It has 80 pin connector.
Includes power, ID and data through this one connector.

If I remember correctly it can be found in Ultra2 SCSI and above.

There are hot swappable IDE kits also. They are very cheap. Under $25 +
Drives that are cheap too.
I don't know about OS wise. Would Linux mount point become confused ? I
don't know how ext2 filesystem internally works.
