Prime Z370-A: hot-swap problem
 

I have a front-panel-mounted drive bay and also an eSATA + USB2 docking
station. I have hot-swap enabled for the appropriate SATA ports, but
hot-swapping does not work in either: the Prime Z370-A motherboard (BIOS
ver. 2001) recognizes when I remove a drive but does not recognize that
a different one has been plugged in.

OS is Manjaro Linux.

Any suggestions?

It's a popular topic, with plenty of semi-dangerous commands.

For some reason, I like their "sudo partprobe", because it doesn't
appear to bludgeon all the ports as its method of operation.

[xxxx@xxxx-Manjaro-Desktop ~]$ sudo partprobe
[sudo] password for xxxx:
Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system).
/dev/sr0 has been opened read-only.
Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system).
/dev/sr0 has been opened read-only.
[xxxx@xxxx-Manjaro-Desktop ~]$

/dev/sr0 is the DVD drive.

It's not seeing the other drive then.

So much for that idea.
