Talk:How to hotswap Ultrabay devices

HAL script

If the script works, your lshal output should contain something similar to this. In this case the Ultrabay device was a second HDD (/dev/sdb).

Note that in the example, storage.hotpluggable = true while before it was false, so the script worked.

bash script for hotswapping UltraBay

Here is my script for hotswapping ultrabay, is more complex, supports swap partition on drive in ultrabay and more :)
