version I happen to have.

echo "scsi-add-single-device X Y Z W" > /proc/scsi/scsi
...replacing X Y Z W with host, bus, ID, and LUN of the new device.

The add-single and remove-single set of commands still works properly
under 2.6, right? I can't really test this at the moment--people would
get Annoyed if the big fileserver's hard-RAID went offline during the
workday. And of course my desktop is SATA and IDE....
