I think this issue has been delat with, at leas partially, with laptops. I have bought a removable frame for IDE HDs. Assuming my HD (would be wd1) is not in use, i.e. no mounted partitions, no swapping to the disk, etc., is it possible to replace it while FreeBSD is running ? I.e. how much information on the disk is kept in the kernel, and is there a way to have the disk reprobed while running ?
