Howdy, sorry to bother you all, but:

I know how to do a rescan of the scsi bus, that's been discussed here
many times before.

I would like to know if the same can be done for ide.

Reason? Because I'm in the habit of hot swapping ide drives and cdroms,
and I would like to be able to tell the kernel to look for the new drive,
so I can use it without rebooting.

Can I do this, and if so, how?
