[SLE] hotswap sata disks

Of course hot swapping SATA disks is not currently supported in Linux.
As such, udevmonitor reports nothing when the disks are inserted or
removed on a system that does support this at the hardware level. There
is work in libata, but nothing functioning for use in a production
system.
So, what would be the next best thing? I assume I would need to do a
script that handles un-mounting the disks, and then a rescan of the
devices. And then a re-mount.. I remember doing this way back with SCSI
devices. But perhaps there is a best way to scan for SATA devices?
The tricky bit is that I have 4 SATA disks that will sort of work in
sets. And the user will probably want to pop in one in the set when
looking for something.
I do seem to be rambling a bit, but it is because I can't decide the
best approach.
