hotplug: unmounting a firewire external hard drive

[Adam Done <mlist@donestudios.com>]

I have noticed that when I plug in an external firewire hard drive the
proper modules do not get loaded with hotplug and I had to load the
modules with /etc/modules when booting.  I have also noticed that after
unmounting the hard drive and then unplugging it, hotplug does not
unload the modules and then deletes devices blocks sda-sda9 under /dev?
I then have to go back and put the /dev block back in /dev?


I am still learning about hotplug.  I am wondering if it is working
properly?  Has anyone else seen this too?
