Description |
---|---|
-F |
Forces the hot-plugging operation on one or more devices even if those devices are being used by the host (and are, therefore, busy). Caution-- Replacing devices which are in use will cause unpredictable results. Try to hot-plug normally (without -F) first, resorting to this option only when you are sure of the consequences of overriding normal hot-plugging checks. |
