Last night in my presentation I mentioned that hdparm doesn't reread
the partition table for disks after hotswapping.
With help from Elliott Mitchell, and the source for /sbin/hdparm,
I learned that when loading a new drive, I should be typing:
hdparm -zb 0 /dev/backup instead of hdparm -b 0 /dev/backup
RTFSC, I guess. Of course, once you know the correct nomenclature,
RTFM also applies.
Mea Culpa. For punishment, I shall read the Collected Wisdom of
Darl McBride. All done.
