I'm also working on ultrabay hot swap (as a patch for
acpi-support in Debian/Ubuntu): please see
<http://bugs.debian.org/388160>.

I think some important libata fixes have gone into the
kernel in >= 2.6.26. With 2.6.25, I cannot convince libata
to let go of the bay device.

If you're finding that you are going to hard-code
/dev/[sh]d? into a script I think you may want to rethink
how you are doing it.
