Just a refresher. If I add a new piece of presumably supported

to add it to the fray? Or does a reboot take care of that?
If it's hardware you can add while it's running, then it's most likely
something that can be auto-detected live. Otherwise, you have to
shutdown the computer anyway and it will be picked up on boot. The only
time you have to worry about dracut is for devices that are required for
booting.
