I have an Intel SS-4000E fileserver. It is Linux-based, and it does hot drive
swapping all by itself with no manual-anything required on a drive change.
I wonder if that functionality could be/should be added to the base kernel, or
at least Fedora? It obviously can be done....
At least on the SCSI/SATA controllers that I use, the new disk get
enumerated up-ward (on a 4 disk system, if I remove sdb and insert a new
drive, it'll become sde).
As such, I need to remove sdb from the array and hot-add sde once it is
inserted.
