Hello.
There is a way to give command kernel to re-read parameters of the hard disk
(mbr/etc)?
Hard drive IDE, kernel 2.4.20, no modules support.
May be in /proc/... ?
bye.

hdparm can unregister and re-register an entire IDE channel, at
which point the channel gets re-scanned. The hdparm source
comes with an "idectl" script that makes this easy.
Don't know about individual IDE devices, though. My
understanding is, it's all or nothing--IDE registration applies
to an entire channel. Also don't know how well Linux handles
serial ATA.

IDE hot swapping does not work properly.
