Alternatively, use the "scsiadd" package.

Certainly both these solutions solve the major problem, in that
echoing to /proc/scsi/scsi or calling scsiadd is more convenient than
rebooting!

My question, is it sensible to try for a little more convenience, by
attempting to configure hotplug for automatic actions when an external
scsi device is powered on/off?
