What exactly is the state of hotplug support? I'm considering a Highpoint Tech Rocket 1540 (HPT374 chipset), and it claims to support Linux as an OS, but I haven't seen anything on mailing lists about use with linux, especially hotswap support. So, is it possible to hotswap these drives, and have the controller/driver detect the new drive?
