SATA drive bay and hot swapping

Hi all,

I would like to set up a backup system using an internal drive bay with SATA (Vantec EZ-Swap) on an Intel D945GTP motherboard (BIOS set to AHCI) using a Western Digital 250GB WD2500JS Hard Drive on SuSE 10.1 with updated kernel version 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp.

The problem is how do I configure autofs, udev or whatever to automatically dismount the hard drive when it is pulled out of the drive bay and then automatically mount it when it is inserted again.

I have Googled for this for ever but don't seem to be able to find anything on it that makes any sense.

I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks,
