hotplug, afaik, refers to not only the practice of swapping SCSI drives on |
| 2 |
the fly in busy servers but as well as anything USB related, mounting of |
| 3 |
drives, and the like. |

Assuming you won't need to plug in a USB drive all of the sudden and you |
| 5 |
keep a spotless fstab and have a sole eth connection, hotplug might in fact |
| 6 |
be somewhat useless to you. |

I switched to udev ages ago however; find out if it's really ncessary. |

In the end of the day however, it's not like it's a very heavy process for |
| 9 |
your machine. |
