Hi Mark,
It would help if you could provide more details about this arrangement and how you're taking advantage of it at the command line. I had some difficulty interpreting this sentence:
"I have several (removal) disks in the box."
My first guess says you meant to type "removable." I then looked up the specs for the hard drive model number you supplied, so at least I know it's SATA (and 'enterprise class,' if it's hot swappable.)
Yes, "removable".
You seem to be saying that you have a 'hot swap' SATA drive bay installed in the computer and that you're using it with a number of these drives. Is this correct? If so, please post the related entries you've created in /etc/fstab
Another set of clues that would be extremely helpful would be actual examples of the commands you're using to mount and dismount the partitions. Your examples should cover the entire sequence of events, from what you do immediately after you've plugged in the first drive, all the way through to the point where you've swapped them out and you're seeing the errors.
Attempting to re-create the problem so that I can give more info resulted in NOT being able to reproduce the issue originally reported. Anyway this is what I did to try to re-create it. First, I boot the machine with all disks defined in fstab installed. The particular disk I that I will unmount and replace today has this fstab entry: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500320NS_9QM1N3A5-part1 /lcrs ext3 defaults 1 2 After it's boot is complete, I login and umount /lcrs as root via #umount /lcrs After insuring /lcrs is in fact not mounted any longer, I then turn off the power to that drive bay and remove it. I wait several minutes for the messages but today, I get none. I then install into the bay a different drive and power it up. At this point "dmesg" shows that the new disk was detected and it has the same /dev/sd# number as the original disk. So I mount it via #mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt Then I wait again for the messages I saw on Friday..... Today, none appear. All seems OK. I wait a several more minutes still all is OK. So I then unmount the disk via #umount /mnt Then turn the power to the bay off and remove my disk. I then install and power up the original disk and after the system detects this it is automatically remounted as /lcrs. All is good today. I am unable to duplicate what was happening on Friday.
