How SW-RAID detects new disks

Hi list,

I have a question if Linux SW RAID stack can detect the presence of a new disk (say new SCSI disk attached to the system in runtime) automatically ?

If it can detect, how it does so ? Does a RAID daemon always scans SCSI subsystem and for new disks attached ? (seems fantasy ?)

Regards,
Rabeeh
