Hi Tino,
I use ultrabay hotwsapping, together with ibm_acpi, here my scripts:
eject event:
event=ibm/bay MSTR 00000003
action=/etc/acpi/actions/eject.sh

eject.sh:
#!/bin/bash

/bin/sync
/usr/local/bin/idectl 1 off

/bin/echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay

rescan event:
event=ibm/bay MSTR 00000001
action=/etc/acpi/actions/rescan.sh

rescan.sh:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/sleep 1
/bin/sync
/usr/local/bin/idectl 1 on
/usr/local/bin/idectl 1 rescan

md5sum of idectl:
4f803e186f6d16b2c8f19a897f3675da  /usr/local/bin/idectl

problem:
after reinserting the drive it uses a mdma (multiword or so), not
optimal yet, but I can get it out and reinserted :-)
