If I have a h/w support for IDE hot swap then what do you recommand for
the same as you suggested for scsi below?

The issue seems to be one of "while the hardware supports replacing drives
and bus rescans, the Linux IDE driver may not"

Or am I completely missing the point here???

Something like that. However, IDE RAID cards *may* handle the issue by
providing a 'pseudo' device acting like a disk to the kernel. I guess the
kernel does need special support (a driver) for such card(s).

In a couple of days I may know more about it as I just got a motherboard
with an on-board Promise Fasttrak... :)
