[11-03-07 13:08]: I have two dvd-rw drives on this box (10.3) and need to take one out. What is the recommended procedure for safely removing this ide device?
init 6
I think "init 0" would be a better choice here -
remove power source remove case elements necessary for access
ground case and self/or self to case
unplug wired connections release device retaining hardware replace removed case elements
remove self-to-case grounding
connect power start system
afaik, has been this way for ages.
For the most part correct, but if the removal of the device caused a re-naming of remaining devices, there would also be a need to boot up into rescue mode and edit e.g. /etc/fstab, and fix grub to account for the new partition naming. But in any case, as he said, no reinstall is needed, only the tweaking of a few key parameters.
