6 | ||
7 | # echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/delete_devices | |
8 | ||
9 | unplug old device(s) and plug new device(s) | |
10 | ||

15 | NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are | |
16 | no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step, | |
17 | also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise | |
18 | results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky |
