Is it possible to add a drive to a HASS unit and have the system recognize
the drive without doing a reboot?
I've searched the archives and I was under the impression that you could do
this; however, a couple of people have told me that I need to reboot in
order to get the new drive recognized by the O/S. To me, this sort of
defeats the purpose of having how-swappable drives in an external unit.
