IDE drives, even in a drive bay setup, are NOT hot swappable.
Linux did not like my sneaky
umount
*remove drive*
mount
sequence. Lets just say I kernel paniced the whole backup server. whoops. I'll know next time to do shut down then swap the drive out.
Recovered nicely though.

Damnet Red, computers already confuse me. Why do you have to go throwing a bunch of capital letters and corn references into it?
Eh, fuck it. I'm sure Enkel and Dumples will understand what your saying and will explain it to me if I ask nicely.

LMAO took me awhile to figure out the corn -> kernel reference. I was wondering what you were going on about.

Drive bay setup is where you have a removable drive plugged into a "bay" that is installed into the machine.
"Hot swappable" means you can pull a drive out while the machine is running and the computer not react like anything happened.
Kernel is basically what makes your operating system (Windows/Linux) communicate with hardware. Drivers do more specific tasks with hardware, but kernel is the basis for an OS.
